NorthsideDan Fantastic to lose 45 minutes in the company of the North Hill Snow Bunting this afternoon. A lovely bird which was busy feeding around the summit the whole time. I just sat and watched. Cheers to @brianstretch.bsky.social #MalvernHills #WorcsBirds
Andy Warr Stone-curlew still south end of Ryall Court Pits late afternoon #WorcsBirds
Brian Stretch With a brisk north-westerly wind continuing for a second day I was hopeful of finding a Snow Bunting on the #MalvernHills. Et voil脿! This beauty was favouring the summit of North Hill. Also my first Bramblings, Redwings, Redpolls & Siskins of the autumn through Happy Valley. #WorcsBirds
Brian Stretch Two Wheatear on North Hill #MalvernHills late this afternoon; the bird present on Sunday remains and has been joined by a paler individual. #WorcsBirds
Phil Taylor 2 of the 3 Whoopers #UptonWarren Moors pool this morning. Harassed by Mute Swans initially but eventually settled after flying a few tines. #WorcsBirds

Ian Hull Stone Curlew still present this evening (1800) at Ryall Pits Worcs. #worcsbirds #ukbirding
Andy Pitt A Knot (presumed juv) dropped in at #uptonwarren Flashes this morning. A rare bird here these days - only the 3rd I've seen in 22 years of visiting the reserve. 2 Green Sands, 6 Curlew & 3 Stonechat were other highlights, and an Avocet was reported for a 2nd day at the Moors Pool. #WorcsBirds
Brian Stretch The Eurasian Stone-curlew still at Ryall Court Pits, Upton-upon-Severn this morning. Distant views but thanks to the power of a Nikon P1000 and some AI sharpening, the photographic results were better! Also 11 Golden Plover over, Dunlin, Green Sandpiper & Pintail. #WorcsBirds
Brian Stretch This Wheatear in Chat Valley, North Hill #MalvernHills this morning was a new arrival. #WorcsBirds
Brian Stretch Ring-necked Parakeet at Pitmaston Park, St John's, Worcester this evening. Heard it calling distantly while visiting my parents, so we went around and there it was. Occasionally feeding on holm oak acorns. Still a scarce bird in the city. #WorcsBirds
Martin Flack Garganey at Grimley CLP this week #WorcsBirds
Lee My best photos of the Ryall Court Pits Stone-curlew from this morning #Worcsbirds

Martin Flack Eurasian Sparrowhawk in the garden yesterday morning in Bewdley, apparently defecating like this is called slicing, I didn鈥檛 know that #WorcsBirds #birds #BirdsSeenIn2026
Brian Stretch Two Cattle Egrets (adult & juvenile) at Powick Wetland briefly this afternoon were my first for the site. Also of note were a pair of Stonechat along the west hedge. #WorcsBirds
Brian Stretch A single Wheatear remained on North Hill #MalvernHills early this morning. A couple of Swallows and a few House Martins heading south were the only signs of any movement. #WorcsBirds
Craig Reed A great start to the day with my third self found Worcestershire Ring-necked Duck this morning at Clifton Pits. Presumably a returning drake. Hopefully he will stick around and start looking a bit more dapper. #WorcsBirds
Martin Flack Garganey at Grimley CLP this evening, showing very well in some late sunshine, even called #WorcsBirds
