Hampstead Cemetery, London, 27/06/2010

11:45am to 12:45pm. Weather: bright, hot & sunny - hottest day of the year!

Very quiet mid-summer visit in fantastic weather. Hardly any birds even singing but several regulars still active around the cemetery.

Entrance:
Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Chaffinch, Wren - all heard.
Swift, Magpie, Woodpigeon.

South-side:
Blackbird, Crow, Dunnock.
Great Tit - juvenile.
Goldcrest - two gleaning amongst an oak tree, one waited for the other & the other apparently drank from the water collected in a leaf. I have very rarely seen two together & it was good to see after reports of their demise due to the harsh winter.
Blue Tit, Blackcap, Robin - juvenile.
Great-Spotted Woodpecker - heard.

UCL Sports Grounds-side:
Jay, Greenfinch - over.

East-side:
Goldcrest.
