Nice trip out to a lovely sunny Autumnal morning at Canon Hill Park in Edgbaston where there many wonderful colours to see with the leaves still dropping from the trees and of course many birds out and about foraging amongst the trees.
Sight of the day was yet again the lovely Redwing with approximately 70 flying in to feed in amongst the trees. It was also nice to see a flock of c.40 Goldfinch foraging among the many Alder trees at this location. Also seen today was a Kestrel being mobbed by a lone Carrion Crow.
Birds seen were Kestrel, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Redwing, Jay, Song Thrush, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Starling, Nuthatch, Collared Dove, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Coot, Shoveler, Mallard and Canada Goose.
As usual at this site there were many Grey Squirrels, not only that but they are also the most friendly ones I ever come across.

I took this photograph of one of Birmingham City Centre's Starling population, I think you'll agree he looks rather magnificent in his winter plumage.
