A few notes on my local patch, Pittville Park. It’s a public park, just a short walk from the centre of Cheltenham, but a great place for birds. It’s not so bad just for a rest or a walk or for walking the dog.
This is divided into sections because of the file attachments limit. This first section shows one view of the park where you can see the West Lake. This is the wilder area although the lake does allow fishing and have boats on it.
This lake has had a pair of Mute Swans for some years. This year the female died as a result of an accident with fishing wire. The male has continued to look after the cygnets and eight of them are now nearly fully grown. I think the authorities will try to introduce a new mate next year - and may try to move them to the safer East Lake.
Also shown are some Canada Geese. These are occasional visitors.
