    Siskins I've noted a few Siskins recently, at least one in Nunnery Wood and another in Warndon Woods, both on Monday. Also had three in the Teme Valley a couple of weeks ago where there were reasonable numbers during the winter so may have bred locally. Brian ________________ Worcester Birding

    From the road near the car park take the main ride east to the far end of the wood and the bird favours the holly and birches at cS0.956.807. It can be very mobile and elusive at times. Best of luck if you go. Brian ________________ Worcester Birding Follow Worcester Birding on Twitter...

    Some great pictures obtained today now online here. They're still the 'wrong' side of the county boundary but have been seen feeding to within 200-300 yards of it in recent days so there is still hope we may be able to add these to our Worcestershire lists. Also 15 Crossbills at nearby...

    The Crossbill flock is feeding a little closer to the Worcs county boundary this morning and includes at least one male Two-barred. The/a female in the flock has prominent white wing bars but lacks white edges to the tertials. It has been seen near the male and is the same in structure and size...

    Not formally submitted as far as I know. Based on the verbal description I had there was no mention of the white vent, so it was a non-starter really. They were adamant it wasn't a Starling though...... Brian

    Agree with Dave. Never understood why a description was submitted in the first place. Brian

    Hi Hughie, Rare to say the least. There is a recent breeding record for the River Teme. Definitely worth submitting to the county recorder, Steven Payne. Brian

    Hi Matt, Sounds like it could be the same bird. The Grimley bird had a small white gap in the black tail band, worn wing markings and a fairly distinctive dusky nape/rear crown. It was last seen at Grimley at c10.30am then flew off SE but it had done that earlier and returned. There were no...

    It's labelled incorrectly. It is a Marsh Tit. Had the pictures of this bird emailed to me, and they show it at a more useful angle. In the BG shot, the pale mark at the bill base can be seen while the other picture shows the structure better. Brian ________________________...
