    Birding in Worcestershire

    Spent the whole day yesterday at Eymore Wood, chasing crossbills. Well, "waiting for" would be more apt. Got some shots - see below, and more on my Flickr page. Great looking birds.

    Ace shots of the lesser woodie, Craig. Saw one for the first time in ages this spring, over in Warwickshire. You forget how small they are. Speaking of small, or in this case little... a new batch from Little Grump. Been watching them for a few days now, and they're fully mobile and very...

    Got some more "sodding" pics today, as after several trips to see it, the grebe finally fished close to the road. Stuart was lurking in the woods too, so I suspect he'll have some gems too. More can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/petewalkden/ B (:

    Black necked grebe was still around at 7pm tonight. Never really came close enough for the shots I want of it, but that's just me... Couple of shots of it below, and a couple of some other rubbish bird that flew over as I was stood watching the grebe, late morning. An osprey, I believe! B (...

    Hi Roger, Thanks for the compliments - yes, it was me on BG. I post the images on a number of sites. A few more for this thread from Feckenham Wylde Moor, from Sunday. Cheers, Pete.

    Somehow I managed to drag my horrendously unfit a** up North Hill earlier and thanks to Dave Jackson, managed to see and photo a Lapland bunting. Great little bird - worth the effort. More pics on my gallery.

    Went for a walk around Salwarpe on Sunday after overhearing Dave talking about spotted flies being in the area, and I'd not bagged a shot of one this year, other than a few distant ones in Scotland. Fortunately for me, while I was wandering around failing to find any, Dave turned up and spend a...

    You got several good shots from what I've seen on your blog Max. There'll be no fish left in there at its current fishing success rate!

    Cheers Max - it's a lovely bird. It was on that smaller lake on Sunday morning too. Very accommodating as I mentioned above - had I had one of those children's rockpool type nets, I could have scooped it out of the water from in front of me, it was that close at times. Some more good shots on...

    Birding in Worcestershire

    After missing the slav grebe at Feckenham, which incidentally is close to what I said when I heard it had gone, I caught up with the beauty today. Was so close I could have scooped it out of the water in front of me. Had to back off to get a focus on it. Have dozens of shots to process, but...

    At long last, one that didn't b*gger off when I parked up. I spotted this near the Peacock Pub early on Saturday morning in the mist and frost, sat near the roadside. I love these birds - look rather evil! Loads more shots of a similar pose here...
