It's only Rock and Roller but I like it
May continued this Spring's excellent run of sightings, culminating in the current run of Red-necked Phalarope records and the sighting of a Common Rosefinch, the 143rd species for the reserve in 2011 (and a first for the reserve and Worcestershire assuming submission to and acceptance by the County Rarities Committee).
Whilst the pace may have slowed a little, at 143 we are still three species ahead of the best total recorded at the end of May.
Potential new birds in June include Little Egret and Garganey.
Other birds that may be recorded later in the year include Little Stint, Ruff, Curlew Sandpiper, Spotted Redshank, Woodcock, Rock Pipit and Pintail.
