Great walk around Babbs Mill Nature Reserve in Solihull this morning in the lovely Autumnal sunshine, what great time of the year to be out and about rather than constantly complaining it's cold, it's lovely people, so make the effort and get up and go out and enjoy nature and wildlife which has the added bonus of being good for your well being, helps keep you fit and active and last but not least, it's free !
I was hoping to see some Shoveler and Goosander on the lake, sadly I didn't see any but it was great all the same to see a small colony of Eurasian Teal, also on the lake there were at least three Grey Heron while on the River Cole there was a nice sighting of a pair of Little Egret, in the wooded areas there were plenty of Jay spotting collecting acorns, other than the birds seen it was a pleasure to see plenty of Fungi adorning Yorks Wood, at least when the bees, butterflies and wildflowers are gone there are many varieties of Fungi and Toadstools to go out and find.
Birds seen today were, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Wren, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush, Jay, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Grey Wagtail, Little Egret, Grey Heron, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Teal, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Domestic Goose and Canada Goose.
