Love watching Hawthorn, Elder and Bramble scrub at this time of year. A pre work walk around #SwanbrookValley gave a decent 'drop' of Warblers: 10 Whitethroat, 10 Chiffchaff, 8 Blackcap, 2 Garden Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and a Tree Pipit! #WestMidsBirds
A guy whose interest in birds rose from @bibbeyswildfarms.bsky.social story found a Robin-like bird on Friday (private land in #WestMidsBirds)
He rang me so I was able to get record shots of this passing female type Black Redstart: our rarest breeding bird
The #BrumBiosphere is producing birders!😎
This lovely 1w Caspian Gull dropped into #RSPBSandwell at noon today. Interestingly, it is not the 'regular' bird, with this one having plainer GCs, neater scapulars & different tail, shawl & bill patterns. Photos show it was also present yesterday retrospectively. #WestMidsBirds
This mornings Caspian Gull at Sheepwash, a real brute. Plumage indicates this is the bird that was at Sandwell Valley on 3/01 & it is again present on Swan Pool, SV this afternoon. Nice to be able to track birds through the landscape #WestMidsBirds
CASPIAN GULL currently sat on the ice at Sheepwash Urban Park #WestMidsBirds
Couldn't resist dropping in to see this afternoons gleaming 1st winter Caspian Gull at West Park. A first for the site I believe. Fantastic find by @themoorehen.bsky.social #WestMidsBirds
A view that needs to be seared into the minds eye for anyone hoping to find inland Yellow-browed Warblers... This morning at Sheepwash Urban Park #WestMidsBirds
Todays Yellow-browed Warbler at Sheepwash Urban Park showed well briefly as it moved through with a Tit flock for Ian Butler and me. A fantastic reward while carrying out this months #WeBS count early. Searching later this morning/early afternoon drew a blank #WestMidsBirds
The very best of luck to all #birders participating in the #WestMidsAllDayer today.
One of those rare autumn days when passage migrants are actually migrating through our region!

Three groups of 20+ Woodpigeon gone south over the garden in the last hour. Seems very early for them to be moving?

With their impending departure, it was nice to spend a little time with a flock of Swifts while carrying out last weekends #WeBS at #SheepwashUP. Fantastic views as they hawked alongside House Martins at eye level. #WestMidsBirds
I can’t wait to see flocks of finch and bunting getting stuck into the four bird food plots at Bibbey’s Wild Farms again this winter 😍👌#WorcsBirds #WestMidsBirds
Light southerlies today followed by deteriorating conditions and some overnight rain forecast mean it could be productive for passerines early tomorrow? 🤞
