In 2011, 20 species were recorded, including seven UK BAP species and the bird list during this year stood at 62 species. It is considered that in the context of the wider Reading landscape, Green Park is likely to support one of the most diverse bird assemblages in the borough and to contribute to supporting bird populations associated with the extensive network of gravel lakes immediately west of the Park.
On May 22 2014, the fourth sighting of a Great Reed Warbler in Berkshire since 1960 was at Green Park. An occupier on the park heard the distinctive call of the bird in the reeds close to the pontoon. Berkshirebirds.co.uk was immediately notified and we had 20 individuals observing the birds.
