This was my first visit to the site for 2024 and it was generally very quiet with a low species count.
The most notable records were a calling but unseen Green Woodpecker between the Spanish Steps and the storage shed (a species that I failed to record at all during 2023) and a single Moorhen on Willow Pond.
My first mammal record for the site for 2024 was Grey Squirrel with 3 individuals seen at different locations.
Species recorded during this visit were as follows (heard only records in italics):
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Robin
Song Thrush
Blackbird
Green
Woodpecker
Jay
Magpie
Woodpigeon
Moorhen
Grey Squirrel
