Hi Eanin,

Marsh Tit has been reported from Windsor Great Park but most records are between December and Marsh in mixed Tit flocks.

Windsor Great Park is a large area so always difficult to cover when a visitor. A walk along 'The Long Walk' leading away from the castle should produce Red Kite and Ring-necked Parakeets. Two thirds of the way along there is a wood just off the main path/road near the Prince of Wales Pond that should produce Spotted Flycatchers. At Virginia Water Lake there are Mandarin Ducks and Egyptian Geese.
Most of the species present in the area will be common parkland birds, eg lots of Jackdaws.

Hi all,
Will be in Windsor in a month, and am curious about the same section of the park in October. Any particular fall goodies I should be keeping an eye out for?
