Platt Fields

Platt Fields pond

I was in the area so I had a late lunchtime hour's wander round Platt Fields Park. The tit flock in the trees included a nuthatch, parakeets screeched in the treetops and a hundred or so black-headed gulls loafed noisily on the pond. All the ducks were either mallards or tufties and mute swans outnumbered the Canada geese. Joining the black-headed gulls were a dozen common gulls, a lesser black-back and half a dozen first-Winter herring gulls.

Nothing spectacular, just an nice hour's walk and a gentle bit of birdwatching.
