Rookery Park and Brookvale Park, Erdington.

                              Rookery Park. 



                                           Brookvale Park.







A trip to Rookery Park and Brookvale Park in Erdington. Birds seen at Rookery Park were Nuthatch, Song Trush, Swift, Robin and a juvenile Blackbird. Birds seen at Brookvale Park were Swallow, House Martin, Swift, House Sparrow, Starling, Greylag Goose, Great Crested Grebe, Tufted Duck, Coot chick (19) Duckling (3) Gosling (4) Great Crested Grebe chick (1) and House Sparrow fledglings. There was lots of House Martin's and Swallow's flying into the eaves of the houses adjacent to the pool presumably feeding their young, even non birders (weirdo's) were looking up at the high pitched calls the birds were making, there must have been seventy plus birds. There was no sign of the five Cygnets that was there on my last visit (26th May) hopefully they were fine and were just on one of the islands and hadn't been a snack for one of our Polish 'friends'. It was also Grey Squirel central at Brookvale, they were everywhere, judging by the litter all around the pool, it's because there's no shortage of food for them.
