A race around Dunstall Park

22nd December 15           morning              Dunstall Park

dull & cloudy,  13°c,   1006 mb,  SE 25 mph

 Don't tell Angus but I've been trespassing on Dunstall Park. Got my timing wrong though as there was a race meeting, which meant I only had an hour on site. Not to worry a quick walk to the pool was all I needed, one circuit round and i'm done. Plenty of gulls c500 mostly black headed, 24 canada geese ( and another two on the pool) a flock of c200 starling ( so this is were they all are ) and c60 lapwing  on the grass. On the water 2 shoveler, 13 teal, 3 coot, 1 moorhen and more gulls. Then a rush back to the hotel before I was trampled by racing horses.
