Sunday 14th October

A walk in Knole Park with the family was suprisingly productive, helped no doubt by the warm, sunny weather. Highlights were a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker in a beech tree next the the east wall of Knole House, 8+ Ring-necked Parakeets screaching at various locations in the park and 2x Small Coppers sunning themselves on the reminats of the Oak trees felled by the storm of 1987 (20 years ago, almost to the day).
