    Wellingtons needed to get to the Lapwing Hide at the Moors! A38 flooded but passable between the Moors and Webbs.

    Hi Gert, This was reported by myself and my other half, it flew in onto one on the small islands and was present for less than 2 minutes before flying off SW. The bird was viewed from the Avocet hide. Nothing of note seen since.

    Pallid Harrier?, Norfolk

    Had brief views of this harrier at North Point, Wells-next-the-Sea early evening yesterday, we think it is a Pallid Harrier but would appreciate confirmation or otherwise!

    Birding in Worcestershire

    A 5 mile walk around the Wyre Forest today was fairly unproductive apart from a flyby Dipper, lots of Robins, Blue Tits, Coal Tits, flyover Siskin and a couple of Grey Wagtails. The only positive was that it didn’t rain! On the way home we decided to call at Blackstone, Bewdley and we’re so...

    A rather unseasonal last visit to Upton for us today, it felt more like Autumn than 31st December with the ‘warm’ temperatures and cloud bursts! From the Hobby hide we saw: water rail, reed bunting, gadwall, shoveler, mallard, sparrowhawk and moorhen. The feeder was busy with blue tits, great...

    An enjoyable visit to the reserve yesterday, quiet at the Flashes apart from Lapwing, 1 Green Sandpiper and 12 Curlew. The Bittern didn’t show at the Moors but it was nice to see everything else in some lovely Autumnal sunshine! Highlight bird for us was a Female Wheatear on Webbs car park...

    Dowles Brook, Wyre Forest

    An enjoyable day was had at Dowles Brook today. Lots of singing Blackcaps along the brook, Grey Wagtail, Kingfisher and Dipper also seen together with 4 pairs of Mandarin. Fascinating to watch the posturing between 2 pairs of Mandarin with the males making themselves look bigger by puffing out...

    Possible Scaup? Mere Farm, South Staffordshire

    Thank you for your reply Phil. The 2 reservoirs are along the South Staffordshire Way near Mere Farm close to Enville. There isn’t parking near the area but it can be accessed via the South Staffordshire Way footpath. We haven’t been back since. I will report this sighting to the Staffordshire...
