Descripción
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 Cárabo Común, Curruca Capirotada, Curruca Mosquitera, Reyezuelo Sencillo, Reyezuelo Listado, Agateador Euroasiático, Pico Picapinos and all the common woodland species. The more open areas have Pardillo Común, Curruca Zarcerilla, Curruca Zarcera and a good population of Ruiseñor Común. The latter has one of the densest populations in the county here.
Pito Real can often be found in lightly wooded areas around the acid grassland areas feeding on ants. A few Tórtola Europea persist aided by conservation work by the nearby golf course. Raptors include Cernícalo vulgar, Busardo ratonero and Gavilán Común with occasional visits in spring by Alcotán Europeo and less often Milano Real. In winter check the Alders (around the pond and towards the end of the cycle route) for Jilguero Lúgano and Pardillo Alpino.

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.
