Beschrijving
Richmond Park in London was created by Charles I in the 17th century. With 955 hectares it is the largest of London's Royal Parks. The park is a national nature reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Halsbandparkiet have rapidly increased in recent years and their raucous cries are now one of the most commonly heard sounds of the park. Several ground nesting species that breed in the acid grassland of the park have suffered a serious national decline including Veldleeuwerik, Rietgors, Roodborsttapuit and Graspieper. The Patrijs is another threatened grassland bird that was once common in the park, however the last known breeding was in 1997. The common waterfowl found in the park consist of: Knobbelzwaan, Grote Canadese Gans, Grauwe Gans, Wilde Eend, Mandarijneend, Kuifeend, Tafeleend, Krooneend and Slobeend.
