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.

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.

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!!

Work and home commitments are making it difficult to get out and about at present, so a quick Thursday afternoon visit is just what I needed, albeit it was all quiet on the birding front.
