    Rare and Scarce Birds in Staffordshire

    Hear, hear! As soon as the 2011 species accounts were sent to Dave, work began on 2012! Those 980 contributors probably submitted well over 200,000 records between them - a fantastic example of citizen science and the sort of research the Club stands for. I have heard comments on how long it...

    Gailey Oystercatcher Further to the shooting of an Oystercatcher at Gailey Reservoirs on 11th January 2014, the West Midland Bird Club is very concerned about the killing of a protected species, the risks posed to other species and the health and safety of visitors. We shall be raising these...

    Rare and Scarce Birds in Staffordshire

During previous boundary changes, parts of Staffordshire have moved into or from Derbyshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. So, which Ye Olde Staffordshire list to keep -...

    Rare and Scarce Birds in Staffordshire

    Phil, Happy New Year to you too. The two sites are less than three miles apart. Before Christmas the Glossy Ibis was seen flying over Clayhanger and Chasewater - all four sites are virtually in a straight line and less than four miles apart. Kevin

    Wolverhampton Sewage Farm is Barnhurst Sewage Works! (http://www.historywebsite.co.uk/articles/Pendeford/Barnhurst.htm) So, this is the first West Midlands County record and the Goscote Valley / Clayhanger bird is the second, unless of course any of the other reports are confirmed ;) Kevin

    West Midlands/Warwickshire local patches.

    Phil, The BTO Birdfacts page on Glossy Ibis (http://blx1.bto.org/birdfacts/results/bob1360.htm) states 1929 as the most recent West Mids County record and quotes the New Birds of WM as the reference. However, the County Lists in the WMBC Annual Reports give no records for the county! What is...
