Moseley Bog and Sarehole Mill.

Trip out to Moseley Bog and Sarehole Mill where JRR Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings grew up and was inspired to write the aforementioned tomes.

My last visit here was last September and thankfully the Bog has remained unchanged and was just like walking into England as it was hundreds of years ago apart from a small amount of litter. On my last visit The Mill Pond at Sarehole Mill was undergoing major renovations and had been completely drained but now it has been fully restored and looked great replete with Mallard and Tufted Ducks, apparently there is also a Grey Heron who visits often but I didn't see it today.

On the whole it was very quiet bird wise today with the most oft bird spotted by being Robin and the birds heard the most was squabbling Corvids.

 Birds seen were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Wren, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Blackbird, Collared Dove, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Tufted Duck and Mallard.
