    My two penn'orth on this issue for what it is worth: I think that Worcs WT have acted quite irresponsibly during the lockdown. When I asked what the rationale for entry was I think they deliberately tried to confuse the issue. They stated that they closed the reserve acting upon the...

    Thought there were some visitors to Upton today. Two cars were parked lakeside of barriers when I went to work this morning. Can’t imagine they were going boating.

    Oh well, the third Easter holiday in a row falls victim to being cancelled. No Mallorca trip this year. Very disappointing but let's hope everyone and everything can get back on their feet as quickly as possible.

    Saturday afternoon took a walk down to Salwarpe Church. On the Copcut Lane side of the Churchfields Maize Maze field came across a large flock of finches. On closer inspection there were about 60 Chaffinches. I did scan for Brambling but with no luck.

    Good to see my first Redwing of the season at the Moors today, as well as Song Thrush and a complete quartet of Gold/Green/Bull and Chaffinch. The Kestrel dropping down right in front of the East Hide was nice as was the Peregrine flyby at the Flashes.
