PARK WILDLIFE

A variety of wildlife was seen by Andy Field at the country park during his visit there on Wednesday 15th. This Mediterranean gull was one of two seen on the mudflats off the park.

A common sandpiper was seen feeding along the edge of the park dyke, the first park sighting this year.

What seems like a well grown ringed plover chick was seen by the Point, presumably one of the chicks first seen in the area a fortnight ago and a good sign they bred successfully.
Also on the mud were 220 black-tailed godwits.

A little grebe was sitting on a nest along the park dyke, maybe a second brood or a second attempt.

A predatory beewolf emerges from its hole in the park cliff, where there's a small colony.

Big black weevil with a long black snout seen at the park.

A very striking fly seen near the park cliff.
