Wimbledon Wind

A blow around Wimbledon Park, dodging the flying debris, turned up 2 Lesser-black Backed Gulls, 4 Great-crested Grebes with the usual Cormorants and Tufted Ducks on the Lake. Meanwhile a pair of Egyptian Geese fed on the main golf course and another pair roosted on the crazy golf. On the playing fields some of the Black-headed Gulls had got there summer hoods and there was also 2 Common Gulls present.
In the wood, sheltered from the wind, there was lots of bird activity and snatches of song from Robins and Dunnocks but the highlight was a Great-spotted Woodpecker that showed well on a bare branch.
