Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park.
Greeted by the friendly crow in the car park, which sat on the car and tried to dismember the areal, so the missus hand fed It some crushed peanuts.
The smew was still present on the pond, but no sign of the R.N duck, other birds included 4 distant little grebe, gadwall, 3 pochard and the usual other ducks and gulls. Also 2 kestrel seen.
Much the same in the car park, with yellow hammer, bullfinch, dunnock, tree sparrows, reed bunting and blackbirds etc.
We were just about to leave when the missus spotted a raptor flying round the car park, on closer inspection we noticed it was wearing jessus, and it landed on a nearby lampost. The owner eventually came to collect It and he informed me that it was a cross between a perigrine and a lanner falcon.
