    Osprey passes through Bittell again! Calls at Bittell Lakes 03 April 2011 Red 8T roosted last night near Feckenham, and at dawn moved to Astwood Bank. He then flew north and at 8 AM was perched at Bittel lakes on the south side of Birmingham. He was observed there by a local birdwatcher, who...

    Birding in Worcestershire

    Leucism is probably the closest description to this bird, quick internet search shows a few more photos here and the drakes show a lot more fawn colouring on them. Also after a quick search Wood Duck can be ruled out due to the different head shape and the apparent paler bill that white Wood...

    Had a walk around Groveley Dingle WWT Reserve in hope of Woodcock but none were to be found and apart from 8 Bullfinch and 2 Jay there was very little around. Carried on along to Lower Bittel that was frozen solid. On the way to Upper I noted a Barnacle Goose in with the Canadas in the fields...

    This thread is meant to cover the whole of Worcestershire which is what I mean by Worcester but Delia will soon change the title to make it clear.

    I personally wouldn't count it as a lifer because, its probably an escape or not a full species. But no one can tell you what you can or can't tick. You could always add it to your life list as 'Farm Yard Goose' or 'Domestic Goose' or something along those lines.

    Build them a raft then Craig... Just over the county border at the very north saw 1 Yellowhammer near Grovely Dingle then at least 3 singing males around the public footpath behind Bittel Reservoir. Always saw them around Lower Bittel when I was younger but hadn't seen them there for a while so...

    Birding in Worcestershire

    Thanks Sy think I have it sorted now, is it me or does the county border split the Wyre Forest in half? Sounds like a good description then, lets hope its soon re-found then! No worries, I've never done it before so I'm really not sure what to expect with how many birds I'll see, guess I'll...

    Gutted that I haven't been able to get to the glossy ibis so far hopefully it will stick around a little while longer. Went to Lickey today quickly managed to hear the Firecrest near the Obelisk but could only just see the tops of the trees with the fog so will have to go back and try again...
