Travelling Back to the Midlands, Britain.

Travelling back to the Midlands.

After a great couple of days with Pam and John I had to head back to Mom's today, so Pam, John and I started the day by going for some breakfast at      which was very nice, later they took me to the railway station where we said our goodbyes and I headed for Peterborough on my first train of the day and then on wards to Birmingham New Street.
During the first stretch of the journey I didn't see as much as I did on the way over as it was very foggy, however I did see Black-headed (Gaviota Reidora / Chroicocephalus ridibundus), European Herring (Gaviota Argéntea Europea / Larus argentatus) and Lesser Black-backed Gull (Gaviota Sombria / Larus fuscus), Mute Swan (Cisne Vulgar / Cygnus olor), Egyptian (Ganso del Nilo / Alopochen aegyptiaca), Canada (Barnacla Canadiense / Branta canadensis) and Pink-footed Geese (Ánsar Piquicorto / Anser brachyrhynchus), Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea), Little Egret (Garceta Común / Egretta garzetta), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Tufted Duck (Porrón Moñudo / Aythya fuligula), Eurasian Wigeon (Sibón Europeo / Mareca penelope), Common Moorhen (Gallineta Común / Gallinulas chloropus), Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo), Rook (Graja / Corvus frugilegus), Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Stock Dove (Paloma Zurita / Columba oenas), Carrion Crow (Corneja Negra / Corvus corone), Western Jackdaw (Grajilla occidental / Corvus monedula), Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica), Common Pheasant (Faisán Vulgar / Phaisanus colchicus), Fieldfare (Zorzal Real / Turdus pilaris) and Common Starling (Estornino Pinto / Sturnus vulgaris). 
On the run from Peterborough I added a Great Egret (Garceta Grande / Ardea alba) a East Midlands Floods near Lyndon.
The fog was bad between Birmingham and Albrighton so I didn't see anything new, later I went to the Crown Inn with Mom, John, Irene, Robert, Ann and Adam.
