Another trip back to Cole End Park Local Nature Reserve in Coleshill, Warwickshire where it looked great with the foliage around and all the juvenile birds foraging from tree to tree.
Juvenile birds seen today were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Dunnock and Starling, I only saw one flock of birds with Greenfinch juveniles and two baby Dunnock but I saw numerous flocks of birds which contained Blue Tit and Great Tit which was great to see, I also saw a flock of c.100 Starling foraging on the grass in a meadow where up to fifty percent were juveniles.
Other birds which were great to see were Green Woodpecker, Reed Bunting and many House Martin and Swallow swooping over the large open grassland for insects.
Birds seen today were Buzzard, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Reed Bunting, Chiffchaff, Robin, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Starling, House Martin, Swallow, Green Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Jay, Blackbird, Collared Dove, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon and Mallard on the River Cole.
As you can see in the last photo I also saw some tent caterpillar (Malacosoma americanum) which covered the entirety of a maple tree, if any passing birds found these, they certainly wouldn't have gone hungry because there must have been thousands there.
