City Centre birding

My first week at my new employer has come to a close. Pretty traumatic, but I suppose that's the joys of adapting to new systems and routines.

The birdlife of Birmingham city centre seems likely to be somewhat limited, but I still managed a couple of blog-worthy birds.

On Thursday I found, on the pavement of Colmore Row, a perfect (but dead) Song Thrush. There is no way it lived there, so clearly this was a migrant, which probably struck a building. The next morning was foggy, and I could hear the calls of Redwings migrating over Victoria Square.

Thank goodness you can birdwatch anywhere. Just step out of your house or look out of the window and you are there.
