Early morning trip to Castle Bromwich this morning, in fact it was so early I was done and dusted shortly after 9 a.m. so I could try and avoid the worst of the heat, still the earlier the better for spotting our feathered friends. At 4 .a.m this morning and I could hear the Thrushes, Blackbirds and Robins singing.
Highlights of the day was seeing a flock of 40+ Goldfinch, which included juveniles, feasting on the copious amounts of Creeping Thistle and Teasel. It was also nice to see a family of Whitethroat which included at least four juveniles. Another quality spot was seeing Wren fledgling which looked only a few days old, if that. I was also lucky enough to see one of our urban Foxes which I unfortunately disturbed but after that I didn't go any near it because it would have gone in the direction of the road.
Birds see were Whitehroat, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Chiffchaff, Wren, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Robin, Starling, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon as well as the following juveniles, Whitethroat, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Goldfinch, Wren and Woodpigeon.
