Many people who visit #DunorlanPark are not aware of the Victoria Cross Grove near the Bayhall Rd entrance. There was a poignant Remembrance Day service there today. Wreaths were laid at the monument commemorating the 10 VC holders with connections to #TunbridgeWells.

Lapwing from Dunorlan’ this morning.
Dunnock: unobtrusive, always present and sometimes elusive but this one posed.
Good to be out again this morning with my first Fieldfares of the autumn, small numbers Redwings about, a few Redpoll over, a few Siskin (more yesterday), 20 Goldfinch and a little more unexpected a single Lapwing (a couple of fields away but that’ll do).

Heron standing the edge of a short wooden slipway into the lake. (This is near the boathouse -not shown.) The water can be seen through various tall plants in the foreground.
A heron keeping watchful eye on proceedings at this morning's @rtwparkrun.bsky.social.

A male Siskin that spent at least five minutes in #DunorlanPark this morning was an unexpected June bird for patch.
The ticks I removed yesterday were possibly more the result of #orchids (or a shrike) than looking to the skies. I removed twice as many ticks as I did when Redpolls were lumped 😟

Weasily the best sighting at #DunorlanPark #TunbridgeWells this morning: a STOAT.
Not rare, but good.
It’s pictured on one the notice boards but I’d never clapped eyes on one here previously.
Also 35 species of bird.

Forgot the optics so felt a bit naked but still managed 32 species of birds by 6:50am this morning - usual culprits including Treecreeper which is surely resident but not seen or heard most days. #DunorlanPark #TunbridgeWells #KentBirding

In middle distance a lake with brightly coloured pedalos moored. Trees - several with thick white blossom- in foreground frame the picture. Trees in full leaf also on far side of lake.
Spring and Summer meet...

A surprise Sand Martin flew north at 7:07am this morning followed by a few more distant hirundines a little bit later. #DunorlanPark #TunbridgeWells

A chilly start
35 species in/from #DunorlanPark this morning. Redwings have been gone for a few days but not much in the way of new arrivals - Chiffchaffs and a single Blackcap still the only summer migrants. Red Kite was noteworthy.

Not quite a patch first as we expect Blackcaps to be arriving in the last few days of March, and so it was this morning - one of 33 species of birds in an hour at #DunorlanPark #TunbridgeWells today.

Patch mega: my first Wheatear for #DunorlanPark #TunbridgeWells in the top field this morning. A surprise as I didn’t arrive until late but unfortunately too many punters and their pets and it was soon off.
This was one 28 species noted in about 40 minutes today.

March is often good for Siskins moving around but this winter they have been pretty thin on the ground. Two in #DunorlanPark this morning tripled the number noted there so far this year!

Post sunset, Dunorlan Park, Tunbridge Wells.
Oh well, I didn’t notice the report of White-fronted Goose at #DunorlanPark until dusk. I dashed up but no sign - single Fieldfare the best (and a few bats).
It’s been a very good day though starting with local Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Dartford Warblers and Woodlark.
Butterfly pic’s to sort.

Either I was late today or Spring is here and the sun is rising earlier (or both). Dunorlan Park, Tunbridge Wells.
Peregrine from a warmer walk around #DunorlanPark this morning, my first here for a couple of months.

Dunorlan Park at 6:30am
Dunorlan Park, Tunbridge Wells at 6:40am
The sun was getting there as I was leaving!
Jay the best of 24 species noted by 6:40am this morning. This is one species that I’m surprised that I don’t see most days in #DunorlanPark when it’s really not uncommon locally. Today it gave away its presence with its buzzard-like mewing (which the Merlin app was convinced it was). #TunbridgeWells
