Rozelle Park, today, had a drake Wood Duck (130) among the drake Mallards (it has apparently been there for over a year). A Stock Dove was feeding on the woodland floor and two or three Swallows were picking up mud from a puddle. Later, a Mute Swan pair had a brood of seven at Doonfoot and a drake Mallard was on the roof of a two-storey house nearby. Two Gannets were feeding offshore and the scrub along the promenade was full of Whitethroats, Sedge Warblers, House Sparrows and Linnets. Although there has been a massive amount of house-building between there and Greenan, there were still a few Skylarks and at least one Meadow Pipit singing in the fields. Stonechats were notable by their absence - I still haven't seen one in 2010. Grey Wagtails also seem to have done badly, and possibly also Long tailed Tits (although the latter had reached such a population high that the drop has probably been less than might have been) (12,087).
