Birds

Of the feathered kind, of course.

Today we popped over to Sandwell Valley Nature Reserve (just outside West Bromwich).  It was a cold but pleasant day and as we'd only planned to go to the farm for an hour we only took our P&S cameras...what a mistake.

After the farm we had a little walk into the woods and in a little opening there was an amzing number of birds.  Unfortunately our cameras were not quick enough to focus on them and catch good shots - we'll definately be trying to head back over there before we leave for Africa which my big camera to try and get a few good images.

Anyway, the birds we saw were....

Coal Tit
Marsh Tit
Great Tit
Blue Tit
Nuthatch
Chaffinch
Robin
Dunnock
Greater Spotted Woodpecker
Moorhen
Magpie
Woodpigeon

Of these I'd never seen a Marsh Tit before so I was well pleased with that spot.  I will be back!
