Albrighton, Shropshire, Britain.

A walk around the edge of the Village.
Ebird List for Albrighton and Donington NR. 

After a visit to the local garden center with Mom and John for a Cornish Cream Tea we collected some flowers from Deb, a local florist and then they dropped me off at Donington Church where I spent a while cleaning up the area around Jayne's plaque and her Mom and Dads.
I then went to Albrighton Church and tidied up around my Dad's stone as well, whilst there I saw and heard Great Spotted Woodpecker (Pico Picapinos / Dendrocopos major), Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Carduelis chloris), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs) and a Common Treecreeper (Agateador Norteño / Certhia familiaris).
Little Egret (Garceta Común / Egreeta garzetta).
I walked back to Mom's, collected the Bin's and Camera and walked back down to the pool on the Albrighton and Donington NR, there I found Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Common Moorhen (Gallineta Común / Gallinulas chloropus), Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Jackdaw (Grajilla / Corvus monedula), Common Magpie (Urraca / Pica pica), and then over on the fields along the brook I added Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), Fieldfare (Zorzal Real / Turdus pilaris), Redwing (Zorzal Alirrojo / Turdus illacus), Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis), Long-tailed (Mito / Aegithalos caudatus), Great (Carbonera Común / Parus major) and Blue Tit (Herrerillo Común / Parus caeruleus), Common Treecreeper, Dunnock (Acentor Común / Prunella modularis), Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula), Goldfinch (Jilguero / Carduelis carduelis) and 2x Siskin (Lúgano / Carduelis spinus).
Redwing (Zorzal Alirrojo / Turdus illacus).
I decided to walk up to Green Lane and check out the fields but cut up alongside the pool again where I bumped in Dave Grif who I hadn't seen for a good few years and whilst we were chatting a Little Egret (Garceta Común / Egreeta garzetta) flew in and landed in one of the trees a the far end of the pool.
I reached Green Lane and walked to the far end and then across some of the fields on public footpaths on the way back, new species seen included more Skylarks, Black-headed Gulls (Gaviota Riedora / Larus ridibundus), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Common Starling (Estornino Pinto / Sturnus vulgaris), Eurasian Coot (Focha Común / Fulica atra) x2, Little Grebe (Zampullín Común / Tachybaptus ruficollis) x2, Mistle Thrush (Zorzal Charlo / Turdus viscivorus), Pied Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla yarrellii) and Wren (Chochin / Troglodytes troglodytes).
