Paid a quick visit to #StanleyPark #Blackpool this morning with DaveyManMcG - we checked to see how the Nuthatch. last seen on 31/03, had got on reducing the nest hole size with mud - & what an expert job it's done. 1st pic from 31/03 & 2nd pic from 14/04.

Stock Dove checking out a potential nest site, a recently returned male Blackcap and it was good to see the two young Great Crested Grebes are still doing well. All photographed at #StanleyPark #Blackpool yesterday.
