Another wee trip to Castle Bromwich, where it was nice to see flowers in bloom and plenty of saplings and trees with leaf shoots, especially the Horse Chestnuts, which look great before the Leaf Miner gets to them and do their damage. Birds spotted were, Pheasant (Hen), Great Spotted Woodpecker, Redwing, Song Thrush, Coal Tit, Blue Tit, Long Tailed Tit, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Starling, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon and a couple of Canada Goose flying over head, probably to the nearby Plantsbrook or Pype Hayes Park. I scared off the Pheasant, which was foraging by the path in front of me, I didn't see it until it flew off, the females do blend in very well with the surroundings though. It was also nice to see a few Woodpeckers as well, especially as the local chavs seem to like setting fire to the old trees which we all know Woodpeckers love.
