Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Stone-curlew still at Ryall Court Pits, Upton upon Severn. Great find by @andywarr.bsky.social #Worcsbirds 0121
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Not the healthiest looking Hummingbird Hawkmoth but nice to see one perched, warming up before it starts to feed. #teammoth 060
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Well the clouds had other ideas for the solar eclipse today. Instead we have both a lunar and solar eclipse. 020
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Wood Sandpiper, Kalloni Saltpans, Lesvos earlier this year. #birdsoftheworld 0245
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 07/07/2026There was plenty to see at Lower Wood Nature Reserve yesterday. Many Silver-washed Fritillary and some Purple Hairstreak butterflies, although these stayed mainly high in the Oak tree canopy. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @britishdragonflies.bsky.social 030
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Several Clouded Yellow butterflies were very active today East side of North Lake at #ripplepits. Thanks to @andywarr.bsky.social for the heads up. @savebutterflies.bsky.social 060
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Always great fun to watch. This male Pileated Woodpecker was in Fish Creek, Calgary, Canada. The drumming heard at the end was his partner. #birdsoftheworld 0264
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Had a very enjoyable day at Compton Downs, North Dorset today. Saw my first Glanville Fritillary along with Marsh Fritillary, Dingy Skipper, Adonis Blue. Twelve species in all. Yellowhammer and Cornbunting were also in good voice. @ukbutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies 020
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 23/05/2026What can you do when you're favourite wader or "shorebird" turns up in the next county? A short twitch to see the stunning Spotted Sandpiper at Earlswood Lakes, Warwickshire - just had to be done. Looks so small alongside the basking Mallard. #ukbirding 030
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 08/04/2026It would be rude not to go and see this beautiful female Hooded Merganser at Alvecott Pools, Warwickshire. Smaller than you might think, very noticeable when the Canada Goose steams past. #ukbirding #warksbirding 050
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 04/03/2026#birdsoftheworld Great Grey Shrike, Tindaya Plain, Fuerteventura. Formerly considered a subspecies of the Southern Grey Shrike this Canary Islands Grey Shrike "koenigi" is slightly smaller, darker and with a smaller white supercilium than the North European "excubitor" Great Grey Shrike subspecies. 010
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 04/03/2026#birdsoftheworld #fuerteventura Common on the Tindaya Plain, Fuerteventura. Berthelot's Pipit. 010
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 04/03/2026#birdsoftheworld #fuerteventura African Bluetit. A little stunner at Betancuria, Fuerteventura. 010
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 04/03/2026#birdsoftheworld #fuerteventura This was a special moment on a recent trip to Fuerteventura. Cream-coloured Courser. 0245
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 23/01/202670 plus Snow Buntings in the sand dunes at Winterton, Norfolk earlier this week. Great fun to watch despite the brutal cold wind. 050

Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 14/09/2025The hire car in Cyprus was ok but the Cyprus Wheatear seems to like it. A convenient perch to search the dirt bank for tasty morsels. #birdsoftheworld 0123
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 13/09/2025A juvenile Red-backed Shrike eyes up it's next meal (out of focus red Dragonfly). Agia Vavara, Cyprus September 2025 #birdsoftheworld 010014
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Had a great time at Prestbury Hill and Daneway Banks today. At this time of year the birding goes quiet but butterflies take to the air. Many Chalkhill Blue, Small Blue and Silver-washed Fritillaries at Prestbury. No Large Blues at Daneway. @ukbutterflies.bsky.social 070
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Incoming! A Barn Swallow joins a Red-rumped Swallow at Potamia new reservoir, Lesvos. #birdsoftheworld #birds 0153
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Cirl Bunting fairly common on Lesvos. #birdsoftheworld #birds 0254
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Many highlights from a fortnight on Lesvos but this plucky Little Owl was one of them. #birdsoftheworld 0243

Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 08/04/2025With an influx of birds from the continent it was nice to see a couple of White Wagtails at Clifton this evening along with fourteen Yellow Wagtails and a "White" Ruff. Oystercatchers and Redshank making up the numbers. #worcsbirds 0130

Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 30/03/2025There are many far better photos of the Cannock Chase Great Grey Shrike but I'm happy with this one. Especially as I had brought the wrong tripod so I had to balance the scope on my knee and hold the mobile to digiscope it. A beautiful bird which was calling and singing this evening. 160
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Finally caught up with the Farmoor Reservoir Snow Geese today. They've not been around on my previous four visits. Now a self sustaining naturalized established species on the British list (C2). It was just a delight to watch 82 birds including several "Blue Goose" dark morphs. #birdsoftheworld 0113
Reposted by Leestevetortrix.bsky.social @stevetortrix.bsky.social · 02/03/2025The Marbled Duck was relocated by Ian and Lawrence Machin this pm at Longdon Marsh WWT Roadside pool. It is un-ringed and fully winged and can be elusive but was viewed from 5m inside entrance gate. The drake Ring-necked Duck was again at Hill Court Screen. Image by Andy Warr. 1255
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 23/02/2025I'll only post one photo from my recent trip to East Africa but it's my favourite bird. The Lilac-breasted Roller #birdsoftheworld 1154
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Good numbers of duck at Longdon Marsh today. Nothing unusual. The highlight was this GWE and a Marsh Harrier. #worcsbirds 0160

Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Can Black-headed Gulls walk on water? Thousands of birds roosting on the Upton Ham tonight. Earlier enjoyed watching Pintails, Shovellers, Shelducks, Wigeon and Teal amongst others. #WorcsBirds 070
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Truly Wintery scenes around Worcestershire today. All around the sound of cracking ice as the flood water slowly recedes. 000
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Well it doesn't look like we're going to have a White Christmas this year so I've dug up a photo taken at Emerald Lake, Alberta, Canada a couple of Winter's ago. 010
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Just going through some photos from earlier this year. These charismatic, cheeky birds soon show up when you bring out the sandwiches. Alpine Chough were in good company with White-winged Snowfinch, Alpine Accentors, Wallcreeper's and Common Rock Thrush - The magnificent Picos de Europa. 010
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 27/11/2024 RN Duck still with Tufties North pit Ryall Court Pits plus a beautiful Kingfisher glowing in the evening golden sunlight. Female Merlin flew East to West across pit and several Pochard still. #worcsbirds 2150
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 25/11/2024We take them for granted but Goldfinch are stunning birds. They love Lavender. Always worth leaving your Lavender seed buds for the birds to feed over the Winter. 030
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Seen some fantastic photos on this platform recently. One reminded me of a photo I took when I was in Canada a couple of years ago. Hope you like it. 110
Lee @leeworth8.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Quiet at Clifton pits today. Resident Egyptian Geese the best of it. #worcsbirds 1120
