A walk around Gumbleberry's Pool in Stechford and along a stretch of the River Cole in the Kingfisher Country Park was the order of the day today.
Highlight of the day was a tie between seeing Blackcap and Willow Warbler fledglings especially as both sets of birds were observed being fed by adult birds.
Birds seen were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Blackcap (male and female), Willow Warbler, Wren, Robin, House Sparrow, Starling, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Swift, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Grey Heron, Moorhen, Coot, Mallard, Canada Goose as well as the following juveniles, Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Woodpigeon and Coot.
There wasn't as many butterflies about as of late, the most common spotted today were Gatekeeper, Speckled Brown, Small White, Peacock and Ringlet.
Also nice to see was a Meadow Cranesbill wildflower even if it was a lone plant.
In the back garden I've had regular visits from juvenile Robin and Blue Tits over the last couple of days, which is nice.
