Hi Keith and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here. I look forward to hearing your news and will hopefully see some of your pictures in the Gallery too.

You could make a start finding some birdinging spots in our Opus section: this is the category for Worcestershire. There are many member here who visit Upton Warren!

Hi Keith,

I live in South Birmingham. Some of my favourite haunts are Worcester way and close to!

WWT Upton Warren - great for all sorts of birds, has salt water flashes so avocets, also a Glaucous gull up to yesterday at least,

WWT Brandon Marsh - Coventry was so may be a step - but a great cafe also!

WWT Feckenham - small (no waders), but given your name - great close ups of kingfishers and warblers at the right time of year.

Hope you enjoy

Wyre Forest is also a good location on the Worcestershire Shropshire border. Grimley and Monks Wood close to Worcester city. Look on the Internet for local nature reserves and wildlife trust sites near you.

Not certain where you live in Worcestershire but I'm in Chaddesley Corbett and even though I have been to the birding hotspots mentioned above, birds are obliging species and get everywhere. Just walking down the lanes surrounding my house you see so much. Every little brown bird spotted is a mystery until identified.

I will say though that Grimley (between Worcester and the back roads to Stourport) and Coney Green Meadows, Droitwich (park above the canal at Salwarpe) are really good and open spaces make them relatively safe while this pandemic is on.

By the way.....all the local birders use Twitter..... Great place to see what's going on.
