    Grimley and Holt

    A couple of pics of the Marbled Duck at Camp Lane Pits this evening. The first record for Worcestershire and apparently, the first in the UK since 2014. Bird is unringed, fully-winged and wary while the date fits ideally with post-breeding dispersal. However, it's unlikely to be accepted as a...

    Grimley and Holt

    The female American Wigeon has returned to Wagon Wheel Lane Pits. I was quietly confident it would after its long stay and it was amongst the very last group to leave, back in the spring. The numbers of Wigeon have been building steadily and after scanning through the 70 or so present this...

    Coney Meadow and Adjoining Areas

    Hi Dave, My understanding is that it's just a reclassification and there are not two species in the UK. The UK population (Natrix natrix helvetica) now proposed as Natrix helvetica. Usual sloppy reporting by the mainstream media. Brian ________________ Worcester Birding
