Rookery Park, Erdington.






Nice walk around Rookery Park this morning, a great little location this with many varieties of trees but it's sadly blighted by anti social behaviour including arson and litter of which there was plenty of the latter especially beer and pop cans.

Birds seen today were, Nuthatch, Wren, House Sparrow, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Redwing, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow and Magpie.

There were Nuthatch in most locations in the park, it's only a small site but that's still quite impressive, there are also Treecreeper and Goldcrest always present but I didn't happen to spot any today, it was a pleasure to see a small flock of Redwing who upon my arrival were in the trees but as I left they were all foraging on the grass, I didn't actually see any House Sparrows but you could hear their unmistakable chirping coming from the bushes that back onto the houses.

It's always nice to see the buds emerging on the trees at this time of the year as is the arrival of daffodils and crocuses.

Finally I have to sadly report that a deceased Fox was found in the park this morning by a member of the public.
