Stonehouse Creek and Victoria Park are both in the Stonehouse area of Plymouth in West Devon.
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 Beccaccia di mare, especially at high tide elsewhere. During intense freezing conditions North of the City, Pavoncella can be found here also. Following long periods of heavy rain shallow pools form attracting Gulls (Laridae), mostly Gabbiano comune but always worth checking for the now increasingly more common Gabbiano corallino '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 sassello, Cesena and Pispola are regularly seen. The gardens along the Southern edge can have Capinera, Luì piccolo and the occasional Luì grosso in Summer, on Ivy (Ilex) covered walls look and listen for Regolo.
(*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 Parrocchetto dal collare often seen here from their main site of nearby Central Park (see separate entry - Central Park Plymouth). Check the old railway viaduct for Gheppio often seen resting.
Leave the City Centre (shopping area) and head West on the A374 signed Torpoint (NOTE do not go on A374 signed Saltash/Liskeard/Tavistock), continue on this A374 signed Torpoint road, at next roundabout with group of trees on, take 2nd exit on road that goes slightly uphill.
