Babbs Mill Nature Reserve, Solihull.

Early morning trip to Babbs Mill Nature Reserve in Solihull.

Highlight of the day had to be seeing fifty or sixty House Sparrow having a mud bath along the path which is adjacent to the River Cole by a very old apple tree which was positively bursting with fruit which will hopefully see the Blackbirds and various Thrushes through the winter months.

Unfortunately other than that it was pretty quiet with the only birds spotted being, Kestrel, Blue Tit, Great Tit, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Mallard, Canada Goose, Domestic Goose as well as the following juveniles, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Great Crested Grebe (2), Moorhen (2), Coot (4) and Domestic Goose (1).
