Flowers in Springtime in Dover's Connaught Park showing a bird-bath (complete with birds) behind which avaries can be seen containing various types of 'exotic' birds. Taken on March 25th, 2007.

NB Only the tail-feathers of the second bird can be seen (to the right of the first bird - is it a robin?)

Dover Distrct Council (DDC) have a webpage listing local "Parks and Open Spaces". The entry for Connaught Park reads:

This park is the first park established in Dover dating back to Victorian times.

Set on the hillside below Dover Castle it provides facilities for both recreational and sporting activities.

The open grass slopes provide a pleasant environment for a stroll offering excellent views across the town.

The lower part of the park is set out in a more traditional style with an ornamental lake and lawns leading to an aviary (above photo).

Within the park there are both grass and hard tennis courts and a play area for children.

The DDC webpage also has entries for Kearsney Abbey and Pencester Gardens.

I've just been told on Facebook by Emma Claire Pearce that it's a chaffinch - thanks, Emma! :)
