This was my first visit to the site of the year which proved to be relatively quiet, particularly compared with my visit to my other local patch site around St. Nicholas Church on 1st January 2023.
I only recorded 12 bird species and nothing especially notable.
However, Grey Squirrels were particularly conspicuous with 6 seen (1 along the track from the pedestrian gate to the Spanish Steps, 1 between the storage shed and Puckles Pond, 1 at Puckles Pond, 1 between Puckles Pond and the eastern boardwalk and 2 at Fox Pond).
It was nice to see all the ponds, other than Fox Pond, full of water following them almost completely drying up during the very hot and rainless days of summer.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
