MISTLE THRUSH singing still Belmont Park and another showing well at Overton Park. My notebook says 'Whitethroat still Bel. Past.', indicating Belmont Pastures. It's been a while since the 18th of May and I don't remember every single Common Whitethroat that I see but I would imagine I meant 'Merlin Pasture' which is the open area of Banstead Downs near the bus station, as I've dubbed it, where there has been a singing male lately. Common Whitethroat is not a common bird at Belmont Pastures although I do remember seeing a pair including a singing male collecting nesting material there about two years ago.

Near Banstead Downs, at Belmont Pastures this afternoon there was a decent variety of common birds noted considering the site and time of day. I saw more variety than I usually do at the Downs because it doesn't take nearly as long to get there.
The highlight was 3 SONG THRUSHES. 2 sang and showed and the other flew through, calling. Going along with the theme of Thrushes, 1 Fieldfare/Mistle Thrush flew distantly past seen with the naked eye only and 1 MISTLE THRUSH was heard alarm calling at the north end. 3 BLACKBIRDS were noted.
2 DUNNOCKS sang and c.4 WRENS were logged. c.5 ROBINS were active.
4 BLUE TITS, 2 GREAT TITS and 1 LONG-TAILED TIT were noted. 10-15 WOODPIGEONS were present as were 2+ CARRION CROWS (with another 2 flying over).
17 ROSE-RINGED PARAKEETS flew over (a flock of 10, then 6, then 1) in a roughly easterly direction.

Next door, this am at Belmont Park a PIED WAGTAIL was feeding along the concrete path there and c.5 ROSE-RINGED PARAKEETS flew over then also.

no time today to go up to the golf course or the core Downs but on the way to school a GREY WAGTAIL was flushed at Belmont Park; not bad on the deck for Belmont. It is likely it is the same bird seen earlier in the week and may winter here. 1+ COMMON GULL+ c.60-70 BLACK-HEADED GULLS still present at Overton Park.
