An early start on Sunday for a trip to Solihull Nature Reserve. Arriving at sun up we managed to see the best part of 40 species of bird in just under 2 hours. Not bad for what is in fact a park with a couple of fields attached.
Redwing, Fieldfare, Brambling, and a couple of Green Woodpeckers were amongst the highlights but my favourite was the return of the Mute/Whooper hybrid swans on the lake. I last saw them on January 10th!
Having arrived home the rest of the day was spent listening to music and watching Blues take on Leicester City (live on BBC 1). A dismal first half and an action packed second. A penalty to Blues (Marlon King putting it in the bottom corner giving Blues a 1-0 advantage), Not long after Leicester, were reduced to 10 men but still managed to put up a fight until a great move by Blues on the counter attack saw Chris Wood fire home Blues' second.
