A trip to Upton Country Park 16th February 2014

Upton Country Park is a big place set in about 100 acres of gardens parkland and woodland and backs on to parts of Holes Bay. So there is plenty to go and look for from woodland/parkland birds, to waders, duck, Gulls and sometimes Terns, but the place can be very busy as it is popular with walks, kids and parents on pick nicks.
It was a wonderful bright sunny and warm day
The bird I saw this day  around the wood lands and gardens were as follows

Goldcrest #
Coal Tit
Nuthatch #
Robin
Jay
Great Tit
