A trip to Kingshurst today, where the highlight of the day was seeing a pair of Kingfishers flying back and forth between a corner of the lake and the River Cole 'fishing'. Birds seen today were Kingfisher, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Treecreeper, Song Thrush, Long Tailed Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, House Sparrow, Greylag Goose, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Grey Heron, and the following juveniles/chicks, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Grey Heron (2) Cygnet (5) Great Crested Grebe (1) Moorhen (4) Duckling (4) and Coot chick (5) Apparently there are also two pairs of Little Grebe's on the nest as well, couldn't find them though. I've never seen so many birds today, ranging from Farmyard Ducks and Greylag Goose to Magpies today with foot or leg injuries, apparently there are a lot of birds getting injured by the local chav 'fisherman' discarding their fishing line etc. in the water and along the riverbank in the bushes were the warblers etc. are nesting, they are probably the same idiots who have been jet-skiing and power boating on the lake and along the River Cole, they're just scum, simple as that !
