Another nice trip to North Warwickshire to visit Kingsbury Water Park where it was great to see the resident Little Egrets and Greylag Geese as well as the visiutng waterfowl such as Shoveler (one of my favourites) Gadwall and Pochard.
Strangely enough I didn't see or hear a single Song Thrush today unlike on my last visit, on the upside though I saw Blackbirds that could have numbered in three figures, they were everywhere I went either foraging on the floor, where there were worms aplenty, as well as hopping form tree to tree. Obviously there were also plenty of House Sparrow, Robin and mixed Tit and Finch flocks present, with the ground a bit sparse of vegetation it was great to see so many Dunnock and Wren foraging about in the undergrowth, I think the Dunnock is a severely underrated bird,they are great if you take the time out to observe them.
Birds seen today were, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Starling, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Blackbird, Collared Dove, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Pied Wagtail, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Little Egret, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Shoveler, Gadawll, Pochard, Mallard, Greylag Goose and Canada Goose.
