Birmingham Kingfisher update April & May 2020

Birmingham Kingfisher update March 2020

In mid March Kingfisher seen along the Birmingham Rea, Cole, Bourn Brook and Tame. The Kingfisher would fly all along the Bourn Brook, I saw them do it twice. Towards the end of March I saw them no more. That left the Rea, Cole and Tame. It was good to return to the Tame for maybe the first time this year in March and there was the Kingfisher. The next day I went again and there was 2 Kingfisher.

Birmingham Kingfisher February 2020

The River Rea and Bourn Brook Kingfisher are hanging in there.
After the River Rea Kingfisher had been along Ten Acres it then moved on. Rob then saw one along the Lifford reservoir section. The Heron and Little Egret also moved on.
A male and female were seen.
The Bourn Brook Kingfisher started to cover more of the brook. I think there are 2 present and they could be from the back of the university to up past Stonehouse Brook and beyond, maybe to Woodgate.
A Kingfisher was reported along the River Cole at Trittiford and I saw one along the inlet.
