Sandwell Valley (5 Viewers)

Gripped off good and proper!! 2Great Whites flying around and landed in Marsh. Seen by several. Photographed by 2 people. Flew off South just before 1pm. Per Pete Hackett
 
Swan Pool reasonably quiet this morning. Steady passage of Redwing, 12 Redpoll, 3 Siskin and Skylark over. 12+ Teal, 243 Coot. There’s going to be a fun run today around Swan Pool and Priory Woods so likely to be busy around there most of the day per Matt Hadlington
