Yesterday I lost 4 species from my life list, today I added another to my 'dip list' 🤦♂️ not all was lost, good to have all the Shetland crew back together and 6x year ticks added!

Nothing new around #LadywalkNR this morning but not too bad a visit on a windy day!
Highlights included a partial eclipse Mandarin, a very distant Harrier almost certainly Marsh, Red Kite, 6x Oycs & 3x LRP.
Unusual to see someone camped on one of the River Tame islands!

A quick after-work visit to Peddimore paid off with the little patch joining in on the WMBC Ringed Plover influx.

A few people have commented about the lack of recent otter updates at #ladywalk_nr This is due to the Trail camera and some associated equipment being stolen from the reserve. This also raises the problem that I’m reluctant to place another camera in the same spot.

Mini birding break away, visiting Cambs, Suffolk, Norfolk & Lincs, and finishing off at my local patch #LadywalkNR 11 year ticks and a patch year tick made for an enjoyable couple of days 😀

Well, I may have missed the Woodchat Shrike due to a planned weekend away at Heythrope Park in the Cotswolds but nice to find this unexpected cracker in the hotel grounds.

Fly visit to Middleton Lakes RSPB after work, got a bit of a soaking on the way back to the car after a mini thunderstorm but another year tick made it worthwhile while.

No sign of yesterday's star bird, but still not a bad day with two patch year ticks.

Felt like I was cheating on my patch today with a visit to Middleton RSPB 😬 two year ticks made it worthwhile, although Ladywalk struck back with a decent one!

After a poor visit to Ladywalk I took a last minute decision to have a look around Peddimore, glad I did, two more year ticks in the bag!

Very quiet morning around #LadywalkNR did manage my 100th species for the patch year list but this is 12 down from this time last year, just not happening down there this year!

After a minor painful op yesterday, i was only going to wander around Fishery Lanes at #LadywalkNR but ended up doing a very slow full circuit. No year ticks, unfortunately, but it's good to be out and about again 😄

Enjoyable morning around Worcestershire today, including an annual visit to the Wyre Forest. Despite the cold wind, we still managed to pick up most of our target species with a bit of hard work!!
