Quick trip over to Castle Bromwich for a spot of birding and forage about in the undergrowth.
Birds spotted were Nuthatch (a pair at least), Goldfinch, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, House Sparrow, Robin, Starling, Jay, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Magpie, Carrion Crow and Woodpigeon.
It was nice to see plenty of Jays still collecting their stash for the Winter, equally as pleasing was seeing what must have been at least fifty Song Thrush flying in and around the trees in the grounds of St. Mary and St, Margaret church, in fact their is probably too many for such a small place, what with them chasing and screeching at each other and the Blackbirds. I've not seen so many birds as I saw in the trees of the grounds of the church and kirkyard, they were a hive of activity with a lot of today's count seen in and around the church.
That's it for today, weather permitting I'm off to sample the Autumn goodness of Shustoke Reservoir where I'll hopefully see the Red Breasted Merganser which is reported to be there, even if I don't I dare say a good days birding and sifting through the undergrowth will be had.
