What an incredible day! 🐦💚 @Chris4Patches (@Team4Nature) just spotted the 58th bird species on his epic journey across the city - a family of Mistle Thrush! This happened while we caught up with the amazing Friends of Selly Oak Park volunteers.

Listen to his heartfelt message about today’s journey, celebrating #BrumsBirds and the unsung heroes caring for our green spaces. 🙌

Stay tuned - more photos coming soon! #WestMidsAllDayer

I’ll be recording birds along the 27 mile No. 11 bus route in Birmingham on Saturday whilst raising funds for @BOSFonline

This bus route and the city’s parks were a big part of dad’s early life
