A Sparrowhawk was duelling with a couple of Carrion Crows over Barshaw Park this morning. A little later something alarmed all the gulls on the pond, making them take to the air along with some Feral Pigeons and about forty Jackdaws. I didn't see the cause but my guess would be a passing Peregrine. Some of the Black-headed Gulls on the pond had fairly well-developed hoods and several Common Gulls had the pure white head of breeding birds. As well as the regular tits, Goldfinches, Starlings, Robins and Woodpigeons, both Song Thrush and Mistle Thrush were singing near the walled garden where eight Redwings flew over.
