Had a walk along the Birmingham and Fazeley canal, starting under the B.T. Tower in Birmingham City Centre up to Salford Park, and then obviously a walk around Salford Park itself. It was a pleasant enough walk, just as long as you ignored the copious amounts of litter (especially in the canal) the beer cans, empty bottles of Frosty Jacks and the discarded junkie needles. All birds spotted today were, Kestrel, Blue Tit, Great Tit, House Sparrow, Robin, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Feral Pigeon, Woodpigeon, Mute Swan, Cygnets (the five are getting big now and the whites feathers are becoming more prominent) Moorhen, Canada Goose, Mallard, Coot and Cormorant. There were two Kestrels on the girders under the Junction, so I tried to take a photograph of the pair, which they didn't like, so they flew a bit further down the Junction and rested up again until a Carrion Crow took exception to them and starting mobbing them, which was entirely my fault..... Oops !
