Bit of a late posting but on Sunday 19/4/09 on a walk through the Country Park and around Crime Lane listed more than 30 species including Kingfisher, Chiff Chaff, Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Swallows, Pheasants Lapwings (3 pairs) Great Spotted Woodpecker, and for the first time in years a Grasshopper Warbler reeling away. It offered excellent views through a scope and was still there yesterday, 20/4/09.
