Wildlife Sightings - 29/06/26
A quiet overcast morning before the sun came out, Black Headed Gull chicks are getting adventures and walking all around the lake on their own stretching their legs and wings. A pair of juvenile Great Spotted Woodpeckers at Hawthorn Wood Feeding station, look for the all red cap which indicated it’s a juvenile.
