Travelling to Norwich, Britain.

A train ride over to see friends in Norwich.

Albrighton Station.

Mom and John dropped me off up at Albrighton railway station where I got a train up to Birmingham New Street, at the station and on this part of the journey I recorded European Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula), Eurasian Blue Tit (Herrerillo Común / Cyanistes caeruleus), Feral Pigeon (Paloma Bravía / Columba livia), Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Carrion Crow (Corneja Negra / Corvus corone), Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica), Eurasian Jay (Arrendajo Euroasiático / Garrulus glandarius), Western Jackdaw (Grajilla occidental / Corvus monedula), Black-headed (Gaviota Reidora / Chroicocephalus ridibundus),  Lesser Black-backed Gull (Gaviota Sombria / Larus fuscus) and European Herring Gull (Gaviota Argéntea Europea / Larus argentatus) and Common Starling (Estornino Pinto / Sturnus vulgaris). 
Had to be done but it was a shadow of friend Lynn's Pasty.
I had an hour to wait for my train to Peterborough so I went and got a Coffee and a Cornish Pasty to keep me go during the journey.
I caught the Peterborough train and my connection through to Norwich, during these two sections I picked up Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Mute Swan (Cisne Vulgar / Cygnus olor), Canada Geese (Barnacla Canadiense / Branta canadensis), Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Eurasian Wigeon (Sibón Europeo / Mareca penelope), Tufted Duck (Porrón Moñudo / Aythya fuligula), Gadwall (Anade Friso / Mareca strepera), Eurasian Coot (Focha Común / Fulica atra), Common Moorhen (Gallineta Común / Gallinulas chloropus), Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo), Lesser Black-backed (Gaviota Sombria / Larus fuscus) and Great Black-backed Gull (Gavión Atlántico / Larus marinus), Northern Lapwing (Avefria Europea / Vanellus vanellus), Common Redshank (Archibebe Común / Tringa totanus), Little Egret (Garceta Común / Egretta garzetta), Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea), Common Pheasant (Faisán Vulgar / Phaisanus colchicus), Rook (Graja / Corvus frugilegus), Fieldfare (Zorzal Real / Turdus pilaris), Redwing (Zorzal Alirrojo / Turdus illacus), Long-tailed Tit (Mito Común / Aegithalos caudatus), 5x Common Crane (Grulla Común / Grus grus) at Sedge Fen, Muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) and Roe Deer (Corzo / Capreolus capreolus).
Ghost Ship.
I arrived in Norwich and whilst I was waiting for John I added Pied Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla yarrellii) and Egyptian Geese (Ganso del Nilo / Alopochen aegyptiaca).
Pam and John also enjoying a Ghost Ship.
John arrived and we went to the house where I met Pam and we spent a nice afternoon chatting and catching up before popping down to the Trafford Arms where we had a couple of Pint of Adnams Ghost Ship.
