Plantsrook Local Nature Reserve.

Great visit to Plantsbrook this morning, even though it was very misty, I initially thought the weather conditions would ruin the visit, but it gave it a nice gothic feel with the odd splash of vivid colour.

It was great to see Shoveller, Goosander and Domestic Duck on the pool, shame there were no Mute Swan or Canada Geese present though, always good to see Cormorant in attendance as well, especially as they always dry their wings on the raft which is far enough away so they don't suffer and human interference.

As is anywhere in Birmingham at the moment, there were no shortage of Parakeet to be seen and heard, in fact it was nice to see plenty of birds singing, especially Song Thrush who were very vocal.

Birds seen today were, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Wren, Robin, Song Thrush, Jay, Parakeet, Woodpigeon, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Cormorant, Shoveller, Goosander, Domestic Duck, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Moorhen and Coot.
