bridgnorth

Hi readers this is a bit late but i was occupied with revision these last few daysOn sunday 10th june my dad asked me if i wanted to go to bridgnorth because my next door neighbour had told him that there should be kingfishers on the river banks now. Firstly we didn't see any kingfishers because the river was so high and secondly we saw some other good stuff.

We saw Lapwing x2, woodpigeon 50+, Starling 5+, Buzzard x2, Mallard 10+, House Sparrow 5+, Blackbird 5+, Swallow 2+, Song Thrush x1, Chaffinch x1, Jacdaws 10+, some sort of bird of prey but i can't tell from the photo(ill post it later), Blackcap x1(also photo), Magpies 10+, Robin x1, Carrion Crow 5+, I also saw a bird that looked like a wren but at closer examination i wasn't sure so heres a photo
