I couldn't really say as I only went to Blackpark once and haven't been to BB sinced I moved west 5 years or so, I never really saw that much in the way of wildlife at BB apart from the grey squirrels, BB does have a couple of ponds but even combined they aren't as big as the one at Blackpark, still it does offer beautiful walks and at this time of year there wont be huge amounts of people around I would imagine.

Well, I'm back a day earlier than expected and only had time for one evening out, so went to Burnham Beeches.

Lovely spot, well worth the visit, it must be stunning in Autumn. Heard several Green Woodpeckers, but no luck spotting them, many Greater Spotted Woodpecker about though. Also, saw a Jay, Nuthatch, Little Grebe on the Middle Pond and a Nightingale east of the pond.

Did a couple of circuits of the Green Woodpecker trail and it was after 7pm when I was coming to the end of the 2nd circuit and I got a nice long view of a very nonchalant Muntjac from the boardwalk in an open wetland area! Maybe not that interesting for some, but they haven't made it this far north yet to my knowledge, so this was my first wild Muntjac
