Great find by @saloplarus.bsky.social of Shropshire's first Black Kite at Wood Lane. It hung around the tip there late morning, often chased by 2CY Red Kites and Corvids. #shropshirebirding #ukwildlife 🪶

Wow. Went out hoping the damp easterlies might produce a Black Tern, and found a BLACK KITE 💥 The first for #shropshirebirding hanging over Wood Lane landfill with 5 Red Kites, on view constantly for 2hrs! Absolutely awesome

A walk in the Pool Hall Fishery area for 2nd Sat morn running was less eventful but 4-5 singing Chiffchaff & Treecreeper (finally!) added to the 10k year. A Little Egret strolling across a field should have been rarer. Always a good day when Yellowhammers & Skylarks singing #UKbirding #staffsbirds

I popped over this afternoon to the I54 to see the Black Redstart. It showed well along the west side of the unit. #UKBirding

Edgbaston res 7.05

RED THROATED DIVER circled for about 10 minutes.
Sadly it just didn't want to come down.

Still, a great record for brum and the patch!

Timely update that the wryneck at Ilmington Downs, Warwickshire was showing again this morning. Quick dash across and bumped into my friends Nick @oldcaley.bsky.social and Anne Truby. Bird showed well from 10.15 to circa 11.30 when I left @westmidsbirding.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social.
