June and I went to Mote Park today, again it was cold and a breeze from the east made for a lazy wind ( one that goes through and not round you ). We looked together for about an hour then split, June to look for the Little Owl and lake birds, me, well I went to the pond in hope of seeing the Water Rail and Jack Snipe. A Wren was darting about and the Grey Wagtail showed well. Eventually the Water Rail made an appearance as did a Tree Creeper, Jay and a couple of Magpies. June counted thirty six different birds in her (our ) trek. We met Phill and chatted to him for a while before we made our way to the car, on rout a Little Grebe was seen on the lake, among the various ducks was a Pochard, Canads Geese and two Mute Swans. We had spotted a Mute Swan just beyond the 2nd bridge, the first time we have seen a swan at that end of the park. We were now very cold so June drove us home avoiding the potholes in the roads, it was like an olympic ski run. Well try again to upload a photo.
