Trip out to Cannon Hill Park yesterday entering via the entrance opposite Edgbaston Cricket Ground and just like on my last visit there were more friendly Grey Squirrel around than anywhere else I visit as well as the very sociable Moorhen, Coot, Mallard and Canada Goose communities, the Moorhen here are especially friendly including the ones who are always in the bushes by the "Sons of Birmingham" Boer War statue memorial, this years juvenile Moorhen in this area let you get very close until you push your luck and then they are off like a shot into the bushes.
Birds seen on my ninety minute visit were Blue Tit, Robin, Dunnock, Goldfinch, (fighting) Nuthatch, Pied Wagtail, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Coot, Mallard, Canada Goose as well as the following juveniles, Robin, Blackbird, Woodpigeon and Moorhen.
If you've checked my Flickr since Sunday you'll notice I went to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens on Sunday partly to walk around and partly to bird watch but unfortunately it is way too wet and windy to see any birds properly but for the record birds seen who were not captive were were Blue Tit, Wren, Robin, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Tufted Duck and a female Pintail and Starling flying overhead.
