It's that time of the year again, namely time for a walk down Chester Road Canal to see if there are any baby birds about and thankfully I wasn't disappointed with six Moorhen chicks and Goslings spotted and seeing baby Starlings being frantically fed by their very busy parents, that's there home in the last picture.
Once you get past The Boat Inn at Minworth and enter more of a town/countryside habitat it's great to see and hear the sheer amount of House Sparrow and Starling, who must both number in the hundreds what with the established gardens, the canal, the farmers fields and old style houses it really is a great environment for them.
Birds seen were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Wren, Robin, Starling, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Grey Heron, Moorhen, Mallard, Canada Goose as well as the following young, Moorhen (6), Gosling (6) and Starling who were heard but not seen and a nesting Canada Goose.
