A thrash around St Pauls

In St Pauls Park this morning there was a singing Blackcap, 4 or 5 singing Greenfinches, a few Goldfinches, a couple of Blackbirds, a Robin, some Collared Doves and Woodpigeons and 3 Blue Tits.

In Portland Square the Alexanders were in bloom - I'm still pretty certain that this is the only place they grow in Ashley but I could be wrong.

Alexanders



The best birds in the cemetery were a bunch of House Sparrows. Otherwise very quiet apart from a Wren, a couple of Blackbirds, 2 Blue Tits and a singing Dunnock. A Herring Gull carried nesting material to a nearby rooftop. Some Viola sp. flowers in bloom among the headstones - maybe a cultivated form of Common Dog Violet.
