Richmond Park
A brief visit to Richmond Park on what was a glorious warm evening. The views across the park are fantastic particularly during the final couple of daylight hours. Just routine stuff today, with around a dozen Sand Martin dashing around Pen Ponds in the company of four Swallow . Two boisterous Common Tern were flying energetic circuits with a few Tufted Duck , and Common Pochard on the water flanked by the exotic Mandarin and Red-crested Pochard . Three Stonechat were on the bracken behind the ponds.
