Just had news of another dead Woodcock, this one by Hockley Flyover in late October last year. I know the news is a bit late now, but I thought it may still be of interest.
Also, I had a Buzzard flying over Matalan on Dartmouth Circus just over a week ago (Thursday 18th).
The nearest I get to the City centre (at least with any regularity) these days is Edgbaston Res. I used to work on Broad Street, but didn't see anything of note that hasn't already been mentioned.

There is a pair of Mistle Thrushes breeding outside my office in Colmore Row which must be unusual

I've seen a pair of Mistle Thrushes around Brindley Place and around the Five Ways island. Might be the same pair.
It's amazing what will nest in the city centre! I even heard a Green Woodpecker in early April at the back of the old Tesco at Five Ways.

I heard a Mistle Thrush singing one evening a couple of weeks ago along Broad Street.

Not quite City Centre but there was a Lesser Whitethroat singing near Bordesley Circus this morning.

I've had reports of a Kingfisher at the junction of Warwick Barr at Great Barr Street from my fisherman/Kingfisher contact Rodger. Great to hear one is back/present. A possible juvenile I assume or perhaps an unlucky male similar to last years one on the Bourn. I've seen one here myself over Winter. I'll have to check it out soon myself. Great!!

A Jay over Aston Cross on my way into work this morning, presumably heading towards Aston Park.
