Welcome to my new Blog on Birding. This is me and my wife Louise enjoying the sunshine at our local in Sutton Coldfield (notice the shirt I am wearing, its full of Linnets).
I have been an on and off birder since the age of 13 (some thirty five years at the time of writing this) and having passed my driving test back in January of this year it opened up so many other reserves for me. Including my local patch of Ladywalk Nature Reserve
Which is a private nature reserve of the West Midlands Bird Club, A club that I highly recommend midlands based Birders and nature lovers join up too.
One Amazing Looking Oak Tree, this is at Ladywalk reserve
What can you expect from my blog then dear reader? Well for a start I will be including a few snaps that I take on my birding exploits both here at Ladywalk and further afield.
Redshank at Ladywalk, snapped on 19th July 2023
Like, Belvide, Blithfield, Upton Warren and Middleton Lakes RSPB Reserve.
Avocet at Upton Warren
Currently I am saving my pennies to purchase my first ever DSLR Camera and so the images will eventually improve on here once I have one. In the meantime I will just have to include birds I have snapped on my mobile.
This is obviously my very first post but it will give you a small flavour as to what to expect from yours truly.
thank you for taking the time out to read this and I would love for you too leave me a comment below.
Happy spotting Pilgrim.
Phillip
