I'll DM you.

No, these dropped into Grimley at 10.30 and were still there at 14:00. According to a post on the Worcs Rare Bird WhatsApp group, the Belvide birds were reported around 12.30.

In Worcestershire there’s been one at Grimley for four weeks now, it joins the Egret roost. These juvs at Croome seem settled, despite it being a popular NT site. The low water is providing access to plenty of food, with little or no competition. It will be interesting to see how long they stay.

Thanks Suzanne, they made surprisingly willing subjects. Hope all is well with you.

👍

If you’re not familiar with Croome, they are on the lake circled in red in the attached map. When you get through the visitor centre and enter the park by the historic church (no 5 in the map), take the path that goes off to the right, this will take you straight to the lake. Good luck if you go.

Thanks. Luckily the Glossy Ibis were on the closest pool to Zeiss, hunkered up against the reeds though so still a fair distance away for pictures. The BlackWits were on Rushy and reasonably close to the hide, which made getting photos a lot easier.

Steve Ferguson reported them as still present this afternoon, on the lake island (north end of the river). I spent an hour there earlier in the day but didn't see them.
