Upton Warren (113 Viewers)

[Phil Andrews]

Sy Bird was seen to land in bay then move quickly into channel by telegraph poles observed same pattern myself on Sat. Seemed genuine birders (one local chap.) They have written obs. in East Hide note book as I did not catch there names.

Cheers Glen - hopefully someone will pop down tomorrow morning and relocate the bird (or at least discover the re-finder's initials!).

Common Gull, Trace. Adult winter plumage.

Reported how, and where by who? South west bay seems a genuine call though.
There appears to be no mention on the usual channels. But, rest assured, bad back or not, I have a photo opportunity with that little bugger and if he's still around...

I think I saw one reported on Brian's site yesterday in the West Mids - near Stourbridge I think. Probably the same bird..

 

[Phil Andrews]

A GWE flew over Withymoor village, Brierley Hill towards Stourbridge at 8.55am yesterday.

I know I risk incurring the wrath of people who know you better than I, but these additions, as interesting as they are, bring nothing to the Upton Warren 'party' and have absolutely no connection with Upton Warren at all.
Do you not think it better that you offer these photos and subsequent queries up to the Bird Identification Q&A section of the Forum?

I'm sorry for this post, but I've been harbouring these thoughts about your repeated posts for some time now.
Not normally a miserable bastard...

Tell you what, Sy, you may or may not be a miserable B****** but when I clicked on that link and read Jane Turner's thread I nearly p***ed myself laughing. Very entertaining I must say. :-O

As for the connection with UW, Binus is a regular, including the work-parties - tenuous I know but good enough for me. No wrath intended - just my opinion.:t:

Moors Pool
GWE appeared at about 8.10 am in bay to left of telegraph pole directly opposite east hide. After 10mins flew off to the NE. Appeared to possibly land on north moors, near the causeway, but no sign a few minutes later.
