I rarely visit this site as I'm not sure it is technically within the Wild Monty patch. Perhaps it is, in which case it's a fine addition to the list of wildlife-rich areas in and around central Bristol. One of the first birds I saw was a
Kingfisher zooming down the river and there were a couple of
Grey Wagtails showing well. Three or four pairs of
Mallards including young and 3
Moorhens (and a young one) were also present, along with a
Lesser Black-backed Gull and a
Herring Gull.
Water-crowfoot was flowering luxuriantly in the stream.
Back in Montpelier proper, there were 6
Swifts over the station this morning. Also at the station were 4
Starlings, a mixed
tit flock and a fly-over
Jackdaw.
