The species list for the hour we were there was:

- Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)
- Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)
- Mallard (Anas pltyrhynchos)
- Gadwall (Anas strepera)
- Teal (Anas crecca)
- Tufted Duck (Aythya faligula)
- Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus)
- Coot (Fulica atra)
- Goldcrest (Regulus regulus)
- Sisken (Carduelis spinus)
- Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)
- Great Tit (Parus major)
- Long-Tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)
- Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
- Jay (Garrulus glandarius)
- Magpie (Pica pica)
- Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
But the star of the show was a little robin. Whilst sitting on a bench quietly watching the long-tailed tits a little robin had its beady eye on us. Clearly invading its territory it came ever closer to investigate what we were doing. It flew at us a few times, and when we finally moved on it landed on the bench to see us off once and for all. My new camera has done quite a good job of capturing it so I'm very pleased!!
