There were also plenty of Black-headed Gulls with several newly fledged birds from this year, a lone Lesser Black-backed Gull and a dozen or so Mute Swans.
Just a few of the 200+ Canada Geese

Further down the path, I heard Treecreeper, Sedge Warbler, Blackcap and Chiffchaff. Close to the Pitch and Putt a Great Spotted Woodpecker was heard calling. On the way back from Broome Manor Lane I took a small track on my right which led me to the Main Lake. The water here has a lot floating weed, which the Coot seem to be enjoying and also in amongst it were Mallard and a Great Crested Grebe. Flying about down here were lots of Black-headed gulls and a single Common Tern, which every now and then, dived down to pick off a fish from the surface.
