Descrição
Old Park is an excellent site within walking distance of Canterbury, making it a good site for birding tourists visiting the city particularly in spring/summer. The wooded areas (especially Chequers Wood) hold Coruja-do-mato, Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto, Felosa-das-figueiras, Estrelinha-de-poupa, Estrelinha-de-cabeça-listada, Trepadeira-do-bosque, Pica-pau-malhado-grande and all the common woodland species. The more open areas have Pintarroxo-comum, papa-amoras-cinzento, Papa-amoras-comum and a good population of Rouxinol-comum. The latter has one of the densest populations in the county here.
Pica-pau-verde can often be found in lightly wooded areas around the acid grassland areas feeding on ants. A few Rola-comum persist aided by conservation work by the nearby golf course. Raptors include peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro, Águia-d'asa-redonda and Gavião da Europa with occasional visits in spring by Ógea and less often Milhafre-real. In winter check the Alders (around the pond and towards the end of the cycle route) for Lugre and pintarroxo-pequeno.

NãoInformação extra
Old Park is heavily used by dog walkers and, at weekends, youths on motorbikes. An early start is helpful. The site is under threat from developers and the subject of a local campaign to save it. For more details see below.
