St Andrews Park

Today's monthly bird walk produced the following:

Redpoll - 1 flew over the bowling green
Goldfinch - present in small groups
Chaffinch - 1 or 2
Greenfinch - 2 or 3 birds believed to be this species high in the treetops with Goldfinches
Great Tit - 2 or 3
Blue Tit - heard briefly near the pond
Lesser Black-backed Gull - 1 or 2 drifting over
Woodpigeon - several seen
Collared Dove - at least 1 bird noted
Feral Pigeon - 3 or 4 seen
Robin - 4 or 5 birds heard singing or 'ticking'
Dunnock - 2 birds heard calling
Goldcrest - up to 2 birds seen near the pond
Blackbird - 1 or 2. They seem quite scarce in the park at present
Starling - 4 flew over
Magpie - a few
Carrion Crow - a few, including a plastic bag-wielding individual apparently
Jay - seen once or twice during the walk

In the flat this morning was a Tortrix moth which I think was probably a Light Brown Apple Moth.
