Newhall Valley Country Park.







Great day birding at Newhall Valley Country Park in North Birmingham where the sun actually came out to play for a change.

Highlight of the day was seeing and hearing my first Chiffchaff of the year which just pushed seeing a great flock of Siskin into second place, it's easy to forget what great birds both Chiffchaff and Siskin are when you haven't seen them for a while. Also great to see were a pair of Reed Bunting who were both females, Bullfinch and a nesting Canada Goose.

Birds seen today were, Siskin, Reed Bunting, Chiffchaff, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Bullfinch, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Jay, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Grey Wagtail, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Mallard and Canada Goose.
