Just back from a brilliant visit to @rspb.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social #SandwellValley and saw this little fella hangin' out with some Mallards! #Mandarin #Birding Loads of Goldfinch too!
#SandwellValley
A little ringed plover on stoned ground surrounded by small rocks.
A male blackcap singing from the top of some bushes.
A lapwing on the water’s edge with its small crest fully displayed.
A greylag goose on the water’s edge that’s reflecting the blue sky above.
Lovely to visit my old patch, Sandwell Valley, during our weekend trip back to Birmingham. I can’t believe there are many places that you’d get better views of little ringed plovers. #Birds #SandwellValley #UKWildlife #WildlifePhotography #Migration
Stumbled upon this, another reminder of my fun parkrun journey. #parkrun #sandwellvalley
Had a walk around #SandwellValley this morning, Goldeneye, Goosander, Pochard, Common Snipe, Lesser Redpoll, Siskin and Fieldfare were the highlights. #RSPBSandwellValley
Throwback a few months to a very obliging common sandpiper at #SandwellValley prior to our departure from the West Midlands. #Birds #UKBirding #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife
Yellow browed warbler partially obscured by leaves
Nice to find the yellow-browed warbler at #SandwellValley today, hiding in an elder tree. How many 000's of these little beauties have passed through the country completely undetected? #migration
