First trip over to Castle Bromwich this Springtime and it looked great with all the brown and greens looking very vibrant and all the plants and trees coming back to life especially the Horse Chesnut and Brambles.
Highlight of the day was no contest today, the sight and wonderful song of a lone Skylark, it didn't hang around for long so it was probably just passing through, as brief as it was, it was still a great sight and sound. Other wonderful bird song observed was that of Blackcap, Whitethroat, Chiffchaff, Wren, Robin, Blackbird, Goldfinch and Greenfinch. No singing Song Thrush today, all the ones I observed were all foraging for worms, hopefully for their young.
Also seen was a pair of Mallard on the boggy woodland floor, something I've never seen in this location before being as there is no real water to talk of in there. Also seen in a house nearby was a Starling diligently feeding some chicks that were in a nest behind a drainpipe underneath the eaves of house.
Birds seen were Skylark, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chiffchaff, Blackcap (male and female), Whitethroat, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Wren, Robin, Starling, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon and Mallard.
