Edgbaston Reservoir.

Great visit to Edgbaston Reservoir yesterday even though it was very quiet bird wise, always good to see what wildlife is present none the less.

By the entrance to the main car park by the cafe there were still plenty of House Martin taking insects to their young in the nests on the surrounding homes, also in that area were plenty of House Sparrow as was the case all around the reservoir where the water was close to the homes, other than that there's not much to report apart from the fact that most of the trees that were planted a few years back most are still present minus the ones that were initially vandalised at the beginning of the project.

Birds seen were, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Wren, Dunnock, House Martin, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Coot, Mallard and Canada Goose.

Finally a note of caution that if you are planning a visit to the reservoir be aware that the due to large scale anti-social bahaviour the car park is currently closed twenty fours hours a day, even though that decision is under review it's likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future, so if your planning a trip, prepare in advance to park off sight and walk to the venue.
