Kingsbury Water Park.






Another trip to North Warwickshire today, this time to visit Kingsbury Water Park in the hope of seeing some juveniles birds and I certainly wasn't let down, highlights were seeing juvenile Sedge Warbler, Whitethroat, Blackcap and House Martin, the Sedge Warbler were obvioulsy spotted along the waters edge in amongst the reed beds, while the Whitethroat and Blackcap were seen foraging amongst the many trees and the House Martin were spotted resting on a fallen tree along the waters edge preening. Other juveniles seen today were, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Blackbird, Cygnet (5), Great Crested Grebe (2), Moorhen (4), Coot (7), Canada Goose Gosling (14), Mallard (16) and there was also a nesting Coot. While it always a pleasure to see juvenile birds it was nice to see juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker, Robin, Blackbird and all the Tits and Finches.

Birds seen today were, Whitethroat, Blackcap, Sedge Warbler, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Chiffhcaff, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Jay, Blackbird, Collared Dove, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Swift, House Martin, Swallow, Common Tern, Cormorant, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Greylag Goose and Canada Goose.

I was looking forward to seeing how the Greylag Goose Goslings were doing but unfortunately I didn't see any so presumably they were all located on one of the various islands at this location.   

Butterflies seen today were Small Tortoiseshell, Meadow Brown, Small White and Ringlet also worth mentioning was sightings of Rabbit and Grey Squirrel because there lots of them.
