Fantastic #WestMidsAllDayer at Grimley y'day. A day where it felt like anything could drop in at any time. And it did! Knot, Spotted Redshank, 2 Little Gulls, Whinchat, Wheatear, 4+ Spotfly provided one of the best days birding at the site in years. Brilliant company. Great day #WorcsBirds - ThreadSky

One of the best, probably THE best Grimley All-dayer. In fact up there with the best birding days I've had there (and there's been some good ones)! So many times we have thought something's got to drop in and been disappointed but as you say on Saturday it did in style. A pleasure to be there 👍

We'll be talking about that all dayer for a while! Made even better by lots of people out there looking and getting to enjoy so many good birds

We will indeed Craig 👍

It would be interesting to see total number of species seen across the Worcestershire sites on Saturday. As a whole, I can't recall migration occurring on such a wide front over the county on a single day. #WorcsBirding #WestMidsAllDayer

The 5 Worcs sites (Grimley, Clifton, Upton Warren, Coney Meadows + Hagley) recorded a total of 117 species by my reckoning.

You forgot Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Ringed Plover- both at Grimley mate :)

Ahh - I was working off what I took to be @patch67.bsky.social listbon BirdTrack but I must have been looking at the wrong one - 119 then

Should be fairly easy to pull together - just 5 sites (Upton, Coney, Grimley, Clifton and presumably all of Nic's Hagley patch). Not sure if any of the Bartley list strayed into Worcs.

Are you doing an overall s'sheets for this autumn? If not, can you do one for just the Worcs sites?

pmandrews1973.bsky.social•184 days ago

Don't think I will have the time. Can do a list of the 145 across all participating sites in time and can pull together a Worcs only one this evening.
