I spent a dank and dreary couple of hours wandering around Wicksteed Park this morning and although the weather improved slightly my birding did not. Large numbers of squawking Black-headed Gulls were around the main lake but there was little else while a Chiffchaff and a Kingfisher at the fishing lake were the highlight. A thorough search of the Greylag Goose flock failed to produce any sightings of the Pink-footed Goose that was here earlier in the week and at this point I decided to cut my losses and quit. Now it's probably not the first time that a desperate man has turned to the church for redemption and presumably also not the first time that said institution has failed to deliver either but my attempt to see the local Peregrines in the town centre ended in failure too. Before I caught my bus home I grabbed a sausage butty and this was the only part of the morning that I enjoyed!
