On Sunday my Dad took me to Colwick Country Park and after a couple of minutes we thought we saw a Goldcrest and then further on into the park we saw a lovely Mandarin Duck and my Mum called it a steamboat. And another highlight was a beautiful black swan which had a lovely red bill with a goregous white stripe across it.The Black Swan is native to Australia so this must be an escapee. After a while it started to rain so we started walking back to the car and on the way we counted a few Robins sheltering from the rain. I really enjoyed my day at Colick Country Park. Below are my pictures of the birds I saw.
