    1st March was the date of your first Chiffchaff sighting on the patch in 2014, the earliest return date in your records :t:

    Beaconwood and the Winsel

    Last year's New Year Project Last year I put together a series of photographs showing the bluebells grow. See them here. Doesn't feel so long until Spring!

    Birding in Worcestershire

    Sorry, it's not related to Croome, Hawfinches or the photos posted, but I have made an interactive map of birdforum threads, mostly in Worcestershire, Warkwickshire and the West Midlands, so you don't need to search through county pages to find a thread to discuss your touristic birding: Click...

    Coney Meadow and Adjoining Areas

    I've pm'ed you with a link. I've looked at Wheatear's arrival date, as it seemed to consistently waver early then late, then back to early. It could easily be by chance, but all 5 arrivals occured between a New Moon and 1st Quarter moon in your data. If this is not by chance the first...

    Comparison of arrival dates Hope you don't mind Dave, but I've put your data into calendars and colours. It helps me to digest it and possibly will for others too. :t:

    Birds in Fernhill Heath

    (From Coney Thread) Potentially a bird from the same family group as Dave's in Coney.

    Beaconwood and the Winsel

    Today Today's visit added 5 new species to my reserve list for the year: blackcap, sparrowhawk, mistle thrush, feral pigeon and pheasant. It was good to chat to two WWT members on the way out who are hoping to bring a party to see the deer later in the year. Bluebells - most beginning to grow...

    Beaconwood and the Winsel

    Another visit today. Quite a different dynamic to previous visits. No Redwing, no Goldcrest and only one Great Spotted Woodpecker. Lots of Grey Squirrels (usually very few) and the deer are growing antlers. Bluebells are coming on. Daffodils beginning to flower. Generally far more Spring...

    Welcome to birdforum Bill and Margaret. From what Dave (Woodchat) reports, the SW Droitwich area is brim full of quality birds, so glad to hear someone else is out there enjoying them. :t:

    Arrow Valley Lake and Park (Redditch)

    Surprised noone else has posted a picture of the bird. I also got some uninspirational video showing the bird up close, but relaxed, as joggers, dog walkers and other park users continually passed by.

    Pictures in the snow from yesterday: The birds were very active and viewable, but the light was too poor for anything better than record shots.

    Beaconwood and the Winsel

    After deciding to visit more frequently this year, I have visited the reserve 6 times since the New Year. I have recorded the following... at least 5 times: Blackbird, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Robin, Wren, Goldfinch, Carrion Crow, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Buzzard, Woodpigeon, Redwing, Nuthatch...

    JTB has come back to me and says general consensus is Great Tit. Thought it'd be a common bird making an odd noise! Thanks John :t:
