Meriden Park, Solihull.






Quick one hour trip to Meriden Park in Solhull whilst in the area on other business.

It was nice to see the Mute Swan on the nest on the island ,where she briefly got up and I could see at least 7 eggs. Also on the nest were 3 Coot, 1 Canada Goose and 1 Domestic/Canada Goose hybrid. I also noticed the 2 bird boxes pictured above, on the side of a house adjacent to the river and the one on the right was home to at least one Blue Tit being as I saw it enter and leave a couple of times, I didn't have time and couldn't anyway, hang around long enough to see if the other box was inhabited bit hopefully it was. Also great to see was a very songful Chiffchaff, a pair of Bullfinch and a male Blackcap.

Birds seen were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chiffchaff, Bullfinch, Blackcap (male), Wren, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Blackbird, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Coot, Mallard, Canada Goose and Domestic Goose.
