Cole End Nature Reserve, Coleshill.

Nice morning birding at Cole End Nature Reserve in Coleshill, North Warwickshire.

Highlights of the day were seeing my first Blackcap (female), Whitethroat, Reed Bunting, Reed Warbler and House Martin, the first four were all seen in the same section of trees overhanging a section of the River Cole, which had lovely clear water by the way.

Also great to see were plenty of House Sparrow, Dunnock, Robin and lots of singing Wren. 

In the fields I also observed a circling Buzzard, a hovering Kestrel, a couple of Peacock butterflies and a large patch of lesser celadine.

Birds seen today were, Buzzard, Kestrel, Blackcap (female), Whitethroat, Reed Warbler, Reed Bunting, Chiffchaff, House Martin, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Starling, Jay, Blackbird, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Woodpigeon, Mallard, Moorhen and Black Headed Gull.
