Nice to go for an early morning stroll down one of Birmingham's many canals, especially as the sun came out to play yet again.
Highlights were seeing the seven Mallard Ducklings which as you can see included an all yellow one, two Canada Goose Goslings and a flock of Long Tailed Tits which included many juveniles.
Because of the water and associated habitats, factories and houses along certain stretches of the canal and of course the farmers fields there is always a great mixture of birds and plenty of them, there is certainly no shortage of House Sparrow and Starlings, both of who were seen taking food back to nests in houses and factories.
Also observed today was a Buzzard being mobbed by two Black Headed Gull and a Kestrel being mobbed by three Starlings both of which is something I don't see very often.
Birds seen today were, Kestrel, Buzzard, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chiffchaff, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Wren, Robin, Starling, Collared Dove, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Swift, Cormorant, Mallard, Moorhen and Canada Goose.
