Quick 60 minute visit to Ward End Park. All bird species spotted today were Long Tailed Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, a flock of 70 plus Redwing, Song Thrush, Robin, Blackbird, Collared Dove, Wood Pigeon, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Starling, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Coot (including the first one I've seen this year on a nest on the water getting ready for the breeding season) Moorhen, Canada Geese, Pekin Duck, Muscovy Duck, Herring Gull and Lesser Black Backed Gull. Also saw a Grey Squirrel dodging the Canada Geese and Carrion Crows to get some food scraps on the floor. What with the Coot nest building, Snowdrops on the floor, the Songbirds (especially Song Thrushes and Robins) and the Sparrows being more audible, Spring is definately just around the corner.
