Wildlife Sightings - 10/06/26
There are lots of juvenile birds appearing around the site at the moment, making it a great time to spot young birds alongside their parents.
A juvenile Oystercatcher has been seen on the lake, while young Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits and Long-tailed Tits can often be spotted following adult birds through the trees.
Robin and Wren families are also active around the centre building, with recently fledged young still staying close to the adults after nesting nearby.
