Descrição
Stonehouse Creek and Victoria Park were both tidal at one time. Victoria Park being filled in and turned into a park in the late 19th century, whilst Stonehouse Creek was filled in and turned into sports pitches in 1972/73, in fact the land is so low lying that both areas still occasionally flood following periods of persistent heavy rain.
(*1), press STAR on map. Stonehouse Creek, The rugby pitches here can be busy on Saturdays especially in the afternoons, a visit earlier in the day or on a weekday may be best. This large open area does occasionally have feeding Ostraceiro, especially at high tide elsewhere. During intense freezing conditions North of the City, Abibe-comum can be found here also. Following long periods of heavy rain shallow pools form attracting Gulls (Laridae), mostly Guincho-comum but always worth checking for the now increasingly more common Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta 'loafing and bathing' in the fresh water pools.
(*2), Victoria Park, the Football pitches here are extremely busy at weekends (both Saturdays and Sundays), a visit during a weekday may be best. The centre of the park is more open but the edges have a good mixture of large mature trees, the park has good wide paths that are sometimes prone to flooding in places. During Winter Tordo-ruivo-comum, Tordo-zornal and Petinha-dos-prados are regularly seen. The gardens along the Southern edge can have Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto, Felosa-comum and the occasional Felosa-musical in Summer, on Ivy (Ilex) covered walls look and listen for Estrelinha-de-poupa.
(*3). On this (private) early learning site, once the site of a council bowling green, are more mature trees and rough areas of scrubland, listen out for the calls of Periquito-de-colar often seen here from their main site of nearby Central Park (see separate entry - Central Park Plymouth). Check the old railway viaduct for peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro often seen resting.
