Worcestershire Birders - As the #UKBirding community grows, it might be helpful to use the tag #WorcsBirding for posts about Worcestershire. This would help to see posts about wider sites e.g. Grimley, Malverns, Wyre Forest, Ripple Pits etc. I have created a Worcestershire Birding feed for the tag.
