A puffed up Ring Ouzel keeping warm in the cold of early morning.
Grey Wagtail seen feeding in Chat Valley.
North Hill, #MalvernHills this morning. Another male Ring Ouzel was on the south side of the hill first thing. Later flew to Sugarloaf Hill to feed. Increase in Willow Warblers, 15 heard singing. Skylark. Grey Wagtail. #WorcsBirds
Male Ring Ouzel on the #MalvernHills favouring the SW side of North Hill early morning.
Also a couple of Willow Warblers were singing in Happy Valley but the most unusual sighting was a Yellowhammer that flew low north over Table Hill.
#WorcsBirds
The male Ring Ouzel fed well in between the usual disturbances & harassment from the local Blackbird.
North Hill, #MalvernHills this morning. A pair of Ring Ouzels were at the top of Happy Valley, North Hill. Both birds were very wary. The female only came to feed once in the hour I was there. The male was more bold. Red Kite. 1 Tree Pipit & 1 singing Willow Warbler were on Table Hill. #WorcsBirds
This female Black Redstart on the #MalvernHills at End Hill towards the lower end of North Valley was the highlight during a perishingly cold few hours.
A female Wheatear around the summit of Worcestershire Beacon early morning was the best of the rest.
#WorcsBirds
North Hill, this morning. A flock of 40+ Lesser Redpoll were a delight as they fed in Happy Valley. 2 Ring Ouzel. Skylark. 6 Stonechat. A Grey Heron flying west up & over Sugarloaf got the pulse racing for a second. Still made for a good site tick as did 3 Mallard. #MalvernHills #WorcsBirds
With no disturbance this evening I was fortunate enough to watch the 3 Ring Ouzels feed for over an hour. #MalvernHills #WorcsBirds
Good to catch up with the three smart looking male Ring Ouzel and a Wheatear on #MalvernHills this morning. Many thanks to the finder @brianstretch.bsky.social #WorcsBirds
Short-eared Owl at the very top of Chat Valley.
Adult Black Redstart in Chat Valley. Very active feeding. Always moving on around the hill.
The second Black Redstart found in North Valley at the top of the tree line.
Ring Ouzel (bottom right). Again in Chat Valley towards the top.
Wow!! North Hill #MalvernHills this morning. SEO dropped in briefly before being mobbed & departed W. Trying to relocate the Owl I later returned to Chat Valley to find a Black Redstart & a Wheatear followed by a Ring Ouzel. Then I found another Black Redstart in North Valley. Amazing. #WorcsBirds
Red Kite carrying grass.
Red Kite displaying carrying a twig.
North Hill, #MalvernHills this afternoon. A Red Kite pair were the main highlight. They muscled in on the feeding crows. Then spent around 15 minutes displaying with twig carrying & dropping items to catch again. They finally drifted off south. #WorcsBirds
The Malvern Hills, a nine-mile ancient range in England, are renowned for supernatural legends, including sightings of ancient ghosts, phantom fogs, and ominous hounds. #malvernhills #ghosts connectparanormal.net/2026/02/18/m...
You have concisely summed up one aspect of the problem of mountain biking on the #MalvernHills (Two Iron Age hillforts irreparably damaged and the Shire Ditch worn away..) But very little effort or enthusiasm from any relevant authority to do anything about it.
The first signs of spring in the garden!

Snow lying in hills #malvernhills
Something you don’t see very often in Worcestershire. A proper rarity on the North Hill, #MalvernHills today. @metoffice.gov.uk #stormhour #ukweather #uksnow #loveukweather
An unexpectedly pretty sunrise from the B&B Red Room this morning. Occasionally, in quiet periods, we sleep in guest rooms to make sure they are comfortable and everything a guest needs is there.

A well defined snow cloud approaching the Worcestershire Beacon from the NW.
A view to the south from the Worcestershire Beacon after the system had passed through.
Looking south towards the Worcestershire Beacon from North Hill.
The view from Table Hill looking south. The Worcestershire Beacon is the furthest peak with Sugarloaf Hill just infront.
A few from the #MalvernHills this morning. Great to enjoy some wintry weather as a large snow shower passed straight overhead. I was lucky to be on the top of the Worcestershire Beacon as it approached from the NW @metoffice.gov.uk #stormhour #ukweather #uksnow #loveukweather

Early morning on the Malvern Hills.

Male Purple Emperor. Expert feedback was that it was showing behaviour not seen in the UK before. Normally seen in the UK at the top of the tree canopy looking for a mate. This individual was behaving like continental PE and was using the height of the ridge line of the hill instead.
No lure used.
Pinnacle Hill, Malvern Hills 24th June.
Finding 2 Purple Emperor Butterflies on the #MalvernHills is one of my stand out memories from this year. Not seen on the hills since the 1980s it was great to be able to share this find with local enthusiasts. One was present for 4 days offering fantastic close views. @savebutterflies.bsky.social
Wheatear returning south.
Ring Ouzel.
This Osprey was seen 2nd Sept using the hills for left. I also saw one on 14th April shortly after dawn. Rising up out of the Happy Valley.
Male Pied Flycatcher with a bee for its young.
I spent a lot of 2025 plodding the footpaths of the #MalvernHills with some rewards. My North Hill list ended on 62. Highlights were 2 Osprey, Black Redstart, Hobby, 5 sightings of Ring Ouzel & 14 of Wheatear. On the lower hills I was amazed to witness a pair of Pied Flycatchers mate. #WorcsBirds
Happy Twixmas!
We hope that you had as good a Christmas as we've had here with the family. It's tradition that the cake design is by our sons on the spur of the moment. This year we have Clangers!
We've enjoyed walks on the hills, in mist and with sunsets.

Landscape view of the top of a rocky hill surrounded by a sea of cloud. Clear blue sky above, and the sun directly in front, silhouetting the people on the top of the hill.

Another great early morning to be out on the #MalvernHills with spectacular views across a fogbound #Worcestershire.
Icing on the cake was finding this female Snow Bunting at the summit of Worcestershire Beacon although it didn't appear to hang around for long.
