Lady Bradford's, Castle Bromwich.













Had a short visit to Lady Bradford's this morning and the landscape has completely changed since February with the grass and greenery over five foot high in places as well as plenty of wild flowers and plant and leaf growth in evidence, thankfully this place is left completely to it's own devices without any intervention from anyone, which can't be a bad thing and with the added bonus there is very little litter there. Birds spotted today were, Goldfinch, Blue Tit, Robin, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon ,Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Song Thrush, Swift, Buzzard as well as the following juvenile birds, Goldfinch, Robin, Dunnock, Blackbird and Woodpigeon. In the back garden I've had the very first sighting of Greenfinch and Chaffinch, ironically both at the same time even more exciting as well was that the Greenfinch spotted was a juvenile and there were four Chaffinch hopefully they liked it that much they'll be regular visitors to the garden, I've also had some juvenile Blue Tits as well as three juvenile robins in the garden at the same time, hopefully the Robins were from the same family. I was also glad to hear Keith Arthur on Fisherman's Blues on Talk Sport at six o'clock this morning have a go at the irresponsible anglers who leave their litter behind or worse still dump it in the river but then again the chav's with sticks who give true angler's a bad name were probably still asleep at six o'clock, not that they'd take any notice anyway.
