DEFRA aware, tested and avian flu confirmed sadly. It could be horrendous for the wildfowl flocks at Grimley 😞

I love that the bird of the day is listed under "Other birds of note" 😁👍

Who told me and others that someone else had already removed the lock so he had just left the gate wide open. Not quite the same as "it was felt necessary to remove the lock"

I am one of the regular Grimley birders and (for now) a WMBC member. No one ever uses the so called WMBC carpark and never has so feel free to strongly advise whatever you like. The only person who parked where they shouldn't today was your own Worcestershire officer

Nice one Gert. First record of the year for RP. Where was the Redstart? Our passage birds have generally gone through by now.
