Lady Bradford's, Castle Bromwich.
















More of a Funghi spotting day today than a bird spotting one. The dark, damp and wet weather has produced plenty different species of Funghi, I got over 250 photos today whilst trying not to tread on any like I did the other day while taking photos near my house, at least I trod on them by accident. Birds spotted today were, Bullfinch, Goldfinch, Blackcap (Male) Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Wren, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Dunnock and Starling. We had a great vantage point for spotting the birds (Goldfinches feasting on the many Teasels, the Male Blackcaps hopping about the trees, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thush, Dunnocks, the Tits etc...) when a dog walker came from behind us, so we moved off the path for him, he didn't even give us eye contact, so a 'Thank You' was out of the question from the miserable bastard, anyway he we went in front of us and proceeded to flush all the birds out of the trees and bushes and then it went all quiet, we've seen him before, so we're bound to see him again and then it'll by my turn to ignore him, he'll have to walk around me, the miserable old sod !
