Yeh, 5 Stonechat hanging about too.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Very true, site tick of course. Can in from the E and sort of changed course to NE. I was on direct course to go over our heads at one point!

Do you want to see a very cropped image of a Marsh Harrier that flew NW from bet Barr Beacon at 0800 today! Go on then and no comments about my old Blurred Birding antics! With @ochrurosbirder.bsky.social

Bit weird not to see other Midlands birders there yesterday. Perfect conditions for Leach’s, not deep enough for Sabines I expect! Still trying to extract sand from every nook and cranny!

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It’s being replaced! Probably sold to another country I expect rather than scrapped

That’s a wicked Caspo! Looked for that last week..

The Whinchat this morning on Barr Beacon in the West Midlands l.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Had around 25 Swallow and a Sand Martin push through Barr Beacon first thing this morning and a Whinchat. Swallows cut a path lower down the hill because of the strong wind and turned SW and flew below the edge onwards.

I did the very first one in a winter there with Roger, I asked if I could count American duck! He said no and gave me Teal!!

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Popped over this pm, walked to Riversmeet/Jubilee Bridge and also the the east pool. Nothing!

Yeh, not some much the wet, it’s keeping the optics dry.

I was going to say man up 😂. No pain, no gain!

The gods seemed angry this evening

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Might want to check in the morning.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I think I’ve seen two or three!

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Yeh, wait till they do my third eye!

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

No excuses from now on, second cataract sorted. The world appears to be bright again.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Bit nearer Africa, think of all the raptor passage.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Keep believing! Think I would go further south than that, like Spain.

Lost a fantastic artist at too younger age.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

No apparently not, differing in tail

Happy to grab back a Long-tailed Shrike in Gloucestershire this afternoon! @ochrurosbirder.bsky.social

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Sadly when reports come in and that it’s still there and you are in the right places in intercept it! Total confusion, birders appeared from nowhere too, sat in cars or looking elsewhere I’m not sure.

110

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Well that’s another nail in my UK twitching today. A couple of sightings of the Heron which was sketchy at the best and being in the right positions to intercept it both times left everybody 🤔

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

I’ve got to wait a week sadly. Had to be around for some stuff I’ve had to do at mom’s house.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Sadly looking straight into the storm will never help. Come down a few times but never really timed it due to work. Nearest seawatch to me in the West Mids.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Does everyone still watch from just before the bridge.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Best not show Bev these, she fell down the slope at the back while I was searching for the chat. Still got the scar!

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Yeh must confess to thinking that myself

Might be my last voyage! Scillonian 111.

Nice to reacquaint myself with Bonaparte’s Gull that is moving between Hayle Estuary and Ryan’s Field. Super views late afternoon from the hide.

At last, a week in Cornwall coincides with a British tick! Lesser Kestrel on Goonhilly Downs.

Apologies, Warks. The excitement got to me.

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

I don’t normally get too excited about Hooded Merganser, but what with all the Yanks around the country at the minute, you can’t just help thinking that this is a good one. Happy to spent a little time with it this morning. Staffs!

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

No birding for me this weekend due to having mom in hospital for the last two weeks. She is at home now making good progress on recovery! 91 not out and counting.

A regional day in Worcestershire, started with a a possible 5 target species. Only one seen which is probably the trickiest bird of the lot with a pair of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. @ochrurosbirder.bsky.social

MYBirding @mybirding.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

That will drop the level of birders there 😂
