-	A quick morning stomp round the Middle Lake yielded a reasonable 32 species, none of which were terribly exciting. For the first 15 minutes I had nothing but '''magpies''' and '''woodpigeons''', so I guess I should be grateful to have seen anything at all. The highlight was probably the '''nuthatch''', only the second one I've seen in the park. Also notable were the '''little grebe''' I found skulking round the island, and a rather high number of '''shoveler'''. The other birds were	+	'''87 species so far'''

-	Unfortunately a 9.30 appointment with the dentist meant I didn't have time to explore the hinterlands of the park, nor to hunt down a few park regulars (pied wag, green woodpecker, goldcrest). I should have time for at least one more trip before university calls, though - hopefully I'll get something decent then.	+	Species in bold are patch ticks. Last updated 24/10/09.

-	30 species across two hours in the evening. Highlights were a very close-up '''kestrel'''; two rather exhibitionist '''goldcrests''' in a tit flock; and a '''stonechat''' in the horse paddocks to the east, which was both a patch tick and a total surprise to me. More mundane patch year ticks were '''greenfinch''' (also, weirdly, a patch life tick), '''pied wagtail''', and the '''greylag goose''' that was with the Canada geese all last year. The weather was unpleasantly wet and windy to begin with but cleared into a beautiful golden sunset.	+	== [[Tom Smith]]'s [[Patchlist_2008|PatchList 2008]] ==

-	Two more species added in fairly unpleasant weather this morning: '''green woodpecker''' and '''song thrush'''. Still no dunnock, though, despite a fair bit of effort!	+

-	That really is it from me for the time being - I'll be out of London until March or so. Good luck to everyone else meanwhile...!	+

-	'''24/3/08''' - 41	+

-	An Easter Monday walk with my family: not really birding, but impossible to miss the three '''mandarins''' (two drakes, one duck) on the main lake. Last year they first appeared on the 25th. My young cousin's enthusiasm for the birds resulted in some excellent flight views...	+
