Sand Martin action from the Rudd hide @ladywalk_nr. Taken on Saturday, was a surprise and pleasure to watch this pair fly in and out of the box in front of the hide. @WestMidBirdClub @WestMidsBirding
10 whimbrel still in, what is now called Whimbrel field, which is the field viewed from the old main quarry entrance at Whitemoor Haye, at 08.10. Do not park in entrance as still used by quarry machinery @Staffsbirdnews @WestMidBirdClub @WestMidsBirding

Always an important message at this time of year. Wildlife already have a tough life, let’s not add to their problems. Please keep your dogs on leads or keep them to the paths.
Our very own Richard King will be talking to BBC Radio CWR tomorrow morning about the West Midland Bird Club! Listen out for him on the Lorna Bailey show from 7.30am 📻
Phew what a marathon birding session today. Up at 4am and now at 8pm I just got to the pub. Started the day at #Belvide at 5.45am with a total of 75 species including my firs ever Kittiwake. Spend late morning with @alankevans0563. Was also lucky enough to get a femail brambling…
A Grasshopper Warbler from today's visit to @RSPBMiddleton. Amazing to see it reeling away (apologies for the Lyrebird in the background that was mimicking DSLR camera shutter sounds....😉). @WestMidBirdClub @WestMidsBirding
quick lunchtime trip to @STWDraycote featured gorgeous yellow wagtails, 2x great northern divers (the progressed plumage one headed out of 📷 fairly quickly), flighty common sandpiper and double wheatears @Draycotebirding @WestMidBirdClub @Natures_Voice @WKWT #BirdsSeenIn2024
LITTLE BUNTING briefly seen at Avon Meadows NR, Pershore early this morning, but no sign since. Seen in willows at end of boardwalk heading towards the river. Fantastic find by GHP. #WorcsBirds @BirdGuides
Few pics of yesterday’s Redstart in the Sandwell Valley.
A decent morning at @RSPBMiddleton made great when an Osprey lingered over Jubilee for 5 minutes at 0830. Also GWT showing really close, 2 Greenshank, Ringed Plover (nfy) & 2 Commmon Sand. @Staffsbirdnews @MercianBirding
THE BIRDING GODS DELIVERED! OSPREY slowly north over @BirdersStore at 9:13 flushing every Gull within a half mile radius. Thanks so much for the shout @BirderJB , it took 45 minutes to cover the 5 miles between Clifton and here. #WorcsBirds
