    Had a look at the pic, which does look more like a Greenfinch to me.

    Hi Neil/Keith, It is correct that you shouldn't venture past the entrance to the pools. The road leading up towards the farm is not actually a public road, it gives access to the industrial/office units next to the farm, and is also used by the farmer to access his fields. The sign...

    P.S. - since putting up that list I've added Whimbrel and Bar-tailed Godwit, plus added Redshank to my personal list. Mike

    That was my 'local' local patch until they started the extensive works last year. I've not visited much at all since about last August, but Corn Bunting would be a site tick for me. I'll have a look tomorrow. I do have a list of just over a hundred for the pools and surrounding fields, which I...

    Presuming you mean the Black-throated Thrush in '96 around Webheath? Be interested in the Nightjar record at Upton. Did you submit this as I don't recall seeing it in any WMBC report for the '90s? Cheers Mike

    Nice pic Neil, if only it was always as quiet as it appears there!

    From a personal point of view the best sighting by far is the Eider (2001 IIRC). Other than that Goosander on a few occasions & Lesser Spot (many years ago) are the only notables - but I didn't go too often to be honest, too much activity going on. Other irregular sightings from my visits have...
