Find four current members to nominate you, then wait 30 years to reach the head of the queue, then spend nearly 2 grand on fees and outfit.

Or maybe, just maybe, they won't get hung up on how things used to be and end up being the generation which moved the dial the other way. Fingers crossed.

Good start, but the house needs grey plague windows, all the trees removed and a couple of 80 grand minibuses parked outside.

Arnside, Cumbria - Osprey seen twice early afternoon - possibly @foulshaw2.bsky.social bird(s)? 100+ Curlew and a very obliging Tawny Owl sat out for an extended period around 3pm.

Osprey! Being pursued west across south Birmingham by a noisy flock of large gulls. Just gone over Bournville.

Bournville/Northfield - 40+ Swift over Woodlands Park at the moment, and a rolling ball of 30+ adults and juvs screaming directly overhead. Magic. Can't recall ever seeing 70+ together here before.

Trump already on the phone to The Infant arranging bans for half the Spain team. It would be delicious to see them win on US soil.

If England win this now, the better team has lost.

Well done Belgium. Trump won't dare show his face at any of the remaining matches. Let's hope Infantino feels the same.

Merlin outdid itself this morning. On three separate occasions, it pinged the slightly creaky leather of my walking boots as Woodcock. Juv GSW calling from a nest came up as LSW. I lost count of the number of times it failed to pick up a Redstart singing close by.

Wyre Forest - highly productive morning in the area between the old railway line and the Visitor Centre. 4(!) Wood Warbler, including two males singing barely 100 metres apart. Spotted Flycatchers displaying (at least six seen), Marsh Tits feeding fledglings, plus all the usuals. #worcsbirds

The Spotted Sandpiper at Earlswood this evening is my 250th UK bird species, 172nd for 2026, 105th for May 2026 and 171st for Warks. Gotta love @birdtrack.bsky.social

Rob S @rbstrng.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Both Spotted Sandpiper and Sanderling still present and showing well at Earlswood 6.50pm

Rob S @rbstrng.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Anyone know whether the Spotted Sandpiper is still around? A diversion may be in order on my way to Redditch later if so.

Talking to a colleague at work this afternoon, lives in south Birmingham. "I had these odd birds in my garden in the winter a couple of years ago. I'll send you a picture."

Rob S @rbstrng.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Wyre Forest - 2 singing Spotted Flycatcher, Dipper (finally), good numbers of Redstart and Pied Flycatcher, Cuckoo, Mandarin, Tree Pipit etc. Then spent 3.5 hours walking various areas with good Wood Warbler habitat and found nothing. #worcsbirds

Mistle Thrush living up to its Stormcock reputation over the road from work. Every time we have a heavy shower, it starts singing.

Decent day out, this. The Fall, New FADS, James, Pale Saints, Bridewell Taxis, Bradford (in Bradford), Primal Scream. In a tatty nightclub. 9 quid.

Excellent thread. Just hope he's right about Reform's diminishing chances. The Farage/crypto billionaire/dodgy house purchase stories are well-timed but too many pensioners have already been radicalised by GB News and they will vote.

Goosander with 8 young on the Severn near Bewdley at lunchtime. Family visit to Wyre Forest produced Redstart, Pied Flycatcher, Tree Pipit, two Kingfisher, plenty of Willow and Garden Warbler, Cuckoo. No Wood Warbler or Dipper, but apparently both have been seen this morning by others. #worcsbirds

Bartley and Frankley finished on 68(!) species, a new record for the patch. Six observers. Highlights - Whimbrel and LRP found by @stuhares.bsky.social on the concrete at Bartley Res. 4 showy Lesser Whitethroat. Crossbill and a very obliging mid-morning Tawny Owl. #westmidsalldayer
