Only one outing, but for a couple of ‘magical’ May birds.
During my first spell in London (2005-2011) Lee Valley Park was a good place for Nightingales and Cuckoos, amongst others. On returning to London in 2016, I took my eldest daughter during half-term to see if they were still there and we were treated to the amazing song of a nightingale during our lunch. A couple of Kingsfishers were also piping while zipping up and down one of the creeks and a cuckoo called from the other side of the lake.
I also recorded returning Swift from the garden on the 25th.
Saturday 5th, Lee Valley Regional Park (70 Acres Lake), Hertfordshire, UK.
