Spotted near Barnt Green today at 12:35pm @WorcsBirding #WorcsBirds
March marks the start of the #BreedingBirdSurvey period. Nesting birds are found in various locations, from city centres & brownfield sites to farmland & woodland. Bird surveys inform species conservation & mitigation. 📸@JoshT01UK Black Redstart, Peregrine, Little-ringed Plover
Wtf is wrong with people?? Three days after Skylark protection signs go up 2 signs are missing & 5 no entry barriers r vandalised! People I met today were v supportive of bird nesting season rules #wildlifecrime #priorityspecies @EPRural @yourcolchester
The ‘Bromsgrove M5 Flash’ as I’m terming it is still providing good flood habitat in NE Worcs. Gull numbers down since my last visit, but managed to get in on the Med Gull action amongst 85 BHG. Also 26 Pied Wagtail. Will be interesting if we have a wet spring. @WorcsBirding
Willow Tit nest failure rates in Britain are double those of other tits, such as Marsh Tits, which is a big red flag. 40% of nest losses are caused by Blue Tits. Some Willow Tits get evicted from 4 nests in a row in a single season, so can't breed. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
In 8 weeks all these well-fed Blue Tits & Great Tits, whose numbers have been inflated by well-stocked feeders, will be looking for nest-sites on this reserve. And they'll find the perfect nest-holes that the Willow Tits have just spent 2 weeks excavating, and they'll take them.
🔊Today Biodiversity Net Gain (#BNG) assessments are mandatory for all new planning applications submitted for major developments. For small sites it's 2nd April & householder applications are exempt. Contact us today at [email protected] for more info. #planning #ecology
This is a shocking population collapse in Tree Sparrows - replicated at several sites countrywide where there is food and nest-box provision. Seemingly no obvious disease mortality but what else could lead to such sharp declines in populations subject to conservation measures?

Our Ecologist @JoshT01UK photographed this Jack Snipe whilst completing a non-breeding (winter) bird survey on a brownfield site. 😃These tiny birds are incredibly well camouflaged which makes them very difficult to spot!🧐 #jacksnipe #wildlife #birds @Natures_Voice @BTO_GBW
Flock of Pink-footed Geese flew over the house in Cofton Hackett at midnight #WorcsBirds
Green-winged Teal at Hill Court Farm this morning. Apparently my 200th sp in Worcs, not that I’ve been counting! Supported by Marsh Harrier, 100+ Golden Plover, and the GND at Croft Farm Water Park. @WorcsBirding
Bartley Reservoir: Great Northern Diver showed well at 1pm today. @WestMidsBirding
Lickey Hills: c.15 Crossbill, 1 Brambling and 30 Redpoll this morning. @WorcsBirding #WorcsBirds
Anyone got an old velbon Sherpa tripod I can have the clip off that holds the quick release head!? I’m going away birding next weekend and mines just broken 😟 willing to pay obviously.

@LizClipson They're fantastic, spent the entire evening playing on the lawn :)
Curlew Sandpiper flew round reservoir a couple of times then out north at 4.45pm.
@MarkSmiles5 @RSPBMiddleton Unfortunately, this is why many birds such as this are kept quiet nowadays. It’s a shame but people can’t be trusted.
Recent reports at Woolston Eyes include: Osprey, Avocet, Whimbrels and the establishment of a large Sand Martin roost. This is currently holding somewhere between 15-20,000 birds, which is remarkable, considering that the UK breeding population is only about 100,000 pairs.
