trip report 2 London

["michael norris" <>]

Hi Michael

Glad you enjoyed London and Hampstead Heath, a local birding spot for me, 
Bill Oddie and Sting to name a few.
You did very well in that limited time but it sounds as if habitat has 
improved at the central London parks. Or perhaps it is climate change: those 
poor House Sparrows!.
A lovely sight for me  visiting HH (after 10+ years' absence) was 
kingfishers using a nesting bank I had helped create around 1985.  Common 
Terns are another species that uses created nest sites - those rafts on some 
of the ponds.
By the way Red-crested Pochard would almost certainly have been a collection 
bird in my days.
