Kingsbury Water Park.
Great visit to Kingsbury Water Park in North Warwickshire this morning where it was fairly overcast but no rain until the very end of the trip.
It's always great to see juvenile and nesting birds, today I saw six Mute Swan Cygnets, fourteen Coot young as well as the following young birds, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Robin, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow and six Coot and two Great Crested Grebe on the nest.
Also seen but too numerous to mention where Mallard Ducklings who easily numbered in three figures with not far behind that number were Greylag Goose Goslings with at least fifty seen, in fact I've never seen so many Greylag and Canada Goose at this location before, their numbers were both in three figures.
Also seen were Rabbits...lots of them, plenty of Cinnabar Moth Caterpillars and many types of insects but strangely enough not very many Butterflies.
The most surprising thing about the day was the amazing lack of litter, I literally saw hardly any which makes a change.
Birds seen today were, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Chiffchaff, Reed Bunting, Blackcap, House Sparrow, Wren, Dunnock, Robin, Starling, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Raven, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Pied Wagtail, House Martin, Swallow, Swift, Cormorant, Common Tern, Lapwing, Little Egret, Mute Swan, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Greylag Goose and Canada Goose.
