Lenin Park, 9-10-2011

Hi all,

Apart from seeing a young guy having a walk with his approx. 2 year old Stump-tailed Macaque, it was actually quite nice to check Lenin Park on a busy Sunday.

5 Oriental Honey Buzzards and 3 Purple Herons were soaring overhead, as was a flock of Barn Swallows and an unidentified Riparia-species.

The corner near the circus held 1 Wryneck, 1 Asian Brown Flycatcher, 2 Brown Shrikes and 1 Siberian Stonechat.

Around the toilets there were 1 Forest Wagtail, 1 Dark-sided Flycatcher, 1 Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher and another Asian Brown Flycatcher, as well as one Ashy Drongo.

One Striated Heron flew across the lake.

Cheers,
Falk
