I had an early morning walk In St Fitticks Park this morning.On approaching the Main Pond,the usual suspects were there,Moorhen,Mallard and a single Heron.As I stood there,I seen 3 Roe Deer at the back of the Pond,entering the Pines.Water Rail were calling from the Marsh,at the back of me.
On approaching the Wooden Bridge to the old Triangle Pitch,two Snipe flew quite low overhead up the Burn.Another 2 Roe Deer were near the Basketball Court,Including a buck In velvet antlers.
Up at the Feeders were Blue,Coal,Great and 5 Long tailed Tits,along with a male Chaffinch and a single Robin.
As I made my way to the Concrete Bridge,a few Magpies were showing signs of alarm and two Teal suddenly flew up and then the reason for this showed,as a Fox was working along the Burn between the Concrete and Wooden Bridges.More than likely the same one as Andrew seen yesterday.
Several Water Rail were heard at the Concrete Bridge but I had a wait of 20 minutes before I got a sighting of one,scurrying Into the reeds.A party of 7 Redwing were on the grass next to Girdleness Road,as I made for home,happy with my walk.
