    Withymoor - Amblecote, Stourbridge.....

    Hi all. Again, been very busy with a holiday down to Devon with some mates from Uni and finishing off all my work for deadlines so 'the patch' has been relatively neglected until the last few days. As Laurie hinted, Monday 15th June turned into a big red-letter day on patch (Sugar Loaf...

    Withymoor - Amblecote, Stourbridge.....

    What a couple of weeks of birding! It seems that getting placed in Taunton by Bristol Uni was a blessing in disguise, as I managed to find my own CATTLE EGRET 5 minutes from my accommodation! They bred in Somerset a few years ago, but seem to have gone a little quiet with a lot fewer records...

    Withymoor - Amblecote, Stourbridge.....

    Ye definitely mate that is a good idea. There are 2 positions I vis-mig from; the first one being at the end of the track directly opposite the dump...this is private land but I have permission to access it. The second as you said is at various points around the field with the mast in it, which...

    Withymoor - Amblecote, Stourbridge.....

    You should have mentioned you needed a lift Laurie! I did not know that was the reason you couldn't make it on the day it appeared. Next time just remember to ask, I am always more than willing to give a lift to a rarity when I am at home. Few days at home and I spent a lot of time on the patch...

    Withymoor - Amblecote, Stourbridge.....

    Hi all. Have been away for the past few days without decent internet access. Didn't really scribble any features down on paper. But the general features I managed to get where a bird of prey (stating the obvious); bird was lacking a deeply forked tail unlike that of a Red Kite, and had had...

    Good records Laurie. Whinchat is always a nice bird to see, hopefully one get one next week when I'm back. Willow Tit is an abolsute mega!! Would have thought this is a the first record for 5-6 years. Also seems that I'm not looking hard enough for Little Owls, you seem to one every time!

    Withymoor - Amblecote, Stourbridge.....

    Glad to hear you had Little Owl Laurie. 2 pairs used to breed in the area a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen any for a while, so it's nice to know they're still around! Also, just to let people on this thread know, there is a WOOD WARBLER in the Norton covert this morning (9.30-9.45)...

    Withymoor - Amblecote, Stourbridge.....

    Hi guys First post on this thread, having been introduced to it by Laurie. I live in Norton, Stourbridge near to the Iverley Park Farm. Been patching the Iverley area (Sugar Loaf Farm, IP Farm, Crown Lane) for a few years now along with my dad. Just a few records from this year that might be of...
