Wildlife at Blue Rose

Upon entering the park on the right and left hedges you will see Tree Sparrows, Goldfinches, Chaffinches and the odd Robin foraging about soil.
Walking in along the road you’ll spot Pied Wagtails all around, especially early doors so have a peep through your caravan windows if you’re an early riser… also in the summer there are quite a lot of Swifts and Swallows flying around the park.

As you go towards the toilet block looking to your right over the hedge is the flight path for the Barn Owl (which is his favourite spot) he flies around the perimeter of the park.

Just past the toilet blocks and washrooms look out for Grey Wagtails in the picnic area, a walk across to the hedge and you will spot more Chaffinches, Tree Sparrows and Goldfinches, listen for the Warblers from spring through summer all along the dyke to Kingfisher pond down to the left of the dog walk through to the lakes.

Continue round the road as you turn back up the park on your right look in the hedgerow all the way to the top towards the mobile home area you will see Blackcaps, Dunnock, Goldcrest, Greenfinch, Siskin, Tree Sparrows, Goldfinches, Robins, Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Great Tits and Bullfinches… especially by the bird feeders opposite plot 33, on the hedge between plots 50 & 51, also seen on other bird feeders around the park.

In the trees beyond the feeders, lookout for Song Thrushes high in the tree tops singing. Mistle Thrushes also are around this area, but on an evening look out for the Barn Owl… also up in the sky around the perimeter you will see Kestrels hovering looking for a tasty meal. A Sparrowhawk frequents this area of no man’s land too.

Turn around and face the tall trees, this is where Jays hang out, the field to the right in summer is where you can spot Yellow Wagtails and Yellowhammers (another siting spot for these is down the end of the footpath opposite the park entrance across the road which is a nice walk).
