Pype Hayes Park.

Quick early morning trip around a misty Pype Hayes Park.

Birds seen were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Muscovy Duck and Mallard.

The rescued mistreated Muscovy Duck who was brought to the pool by the RSPCA is still looking fine and fitting in well with his new mates, the Mallards.

Also seen today were a House Sparrow colony but they weren't technically at the park but they were in hedgerow and on the roofs of houses on the edges of the park, there were some nice big Sparrow size holes under the eaves, so hopefully they'll have somewhere to live at this site for many a year yet.

I also saw plenty Starling today but unfortunately they were only seen in Castle Vale shopping centre car park and not foraging on the grass in the park like they should be doing, but that's maybe because a fun fair is at the park at the moment.
