A rather unexpected addition to the the local 2026 10km list today in the form of a Red crested Pochard! A female on a woodland pond near Pensford. Locally I have only seen this species at CVL. Woodcock was also added. Total now stands at 67.

If you're visiting us here in #Worcester allow extra time to see this stunning male Black Redstart in the city centre.

Originally found on the Cathedral in November, more recently he has frequented both All Saints Church and St. Andrew's Spire.

3 new life birds in 2024. Yellow Warbler, Scarlet Tanager & Pale legged Leaf Warbler. Not as many as in 2023 but that was a bumper year nowadays. Quality over quantity.
