    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...

    Spotted Sandpiper at Olhao

    Just returned to the hotel from a quick walk around the lagoons on the south-west side of Olhao, just west of the Real Marina Hotel and saw a summer-plumaged Spotted Sandpiper. Bird was feeding on first lagoons along north side of path but then flew towards tidal zone and couldn't be relocated...

    Goa Winter 2016 - 2017

    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

    An Avocet at Camp Lane Pits found by JHWR this afternoon was still present this evening - just the 7th record for Grimley. The female Scaup remains on Wagon Wheel Lane Pits. Brian _________________ Worcester Birding

    Today's flock of 49 Black-tailed Godwits at Camp Lane Pits was the 2nd largest flock to be recorded in the county. The highest count is 69 at Upton Warren on April 12th 2013. There were also single Dunlins at Camp Lane Pits and Holt. The female Scaup remains at Wagon Wheel Lane Pits and the...

    Upton Warren

    Couldn't agree more Andy :t: The whole 'large white-headed' gull complex is a shambles and at best many IDs are just pigeon-holed in to a name that fits what we believe is a valid species. With regards to this afternoon's bird, I received a text to say that it was re-identified as a...

    Upton Warren

    Received a report of a Great White Egret at the North Moors Pool at c1.45pm on Saturday 8th April. Would be interesting to know if anyone else saw it. Brian _________________ Worcester Birding

    Upton Warren

    Submitted anonymously through the Worcester Birding website the day after but presumably the report relates to the hybrid. I don't generally post anonymous sightings but with the recent run of Meds at Upton didn't see any reason to dismiss it. Brian _________________ Worcester Birding

    Grimley and Holt

    A female Common Scoter remains on Wagon Wheel Lane Pits for its second day and the two Greater Scaup remain. The female American Wigeon was still at Holt yesterday evening having relocated there on Saturday. It's been an amazing year so far for rare and scarce ducks at Grimley with American...

    Plenty of migrants on the patch today: A male Wheatear in the rough field just to the north-west of the Church Farm Pits late morning and still present late afternoon - maybe the same bird present near the church yesterday. A few Sand Martins heading north throughout the day and the number of...

    The 3 Garganey were settled at Camp Lane Pits this evening with the 2 drakes displaying and calling to the female. Earlier all three had been on Church Farm Pits. Also 5 Sand Martins there this evening. The first-winter female American Wigeon was still on Wagon Wheel Lane Pits on the north pit...

    3 Garganey (2 drakes) new in at Camp Lane Pits this morning (per Liz & Rob Clipson). The first-winter female American Wigeon is still on Wagon Wheel Lane Pits with the Wigeon flock this morning and two G.Scaup still present - the adult drake has returned to Westwood. If the Goldeneye are still...

    Shoveler numbers have been high this past week with 166 counted at Camp Lane Pits on Monday with a few more probably hiding out of view along the east shore. There was an LRP there on Wednesday too - the first to be reported in Worcs so far this spring. Brian _________________ Worcester Birding
