Worcester Birding does not operate on Blue-sky. You can click on the #WorcsBirds hashtag to see all sightings (as long as people use it). You can use the 'feeds' function to attach 'Worcester Birding' to your homepage for easy access. I've done the latter. Very easy.

Nice one Gert. Such an important site. Teal numbers have dropped dramatically!

You can use the feeds function for Worcestershire Bird sightings for easy access. Plus, the #WorcsBirds hashtag also works here, as well as twitter

They were feeding together when I first picked them up. Just lucky to be stood next to the right Holly when one flicked slightly closer to the edge!

Six Aythya including a RND and a Goldeneye. That's a good ratio 🤣

Thanks. Decent increase in diving ducks since I visited then! I hear 200ish Pintails and a few hundred Teal have disappeared from the south of the county. Wondered if they'd moved up onto the river floods further north.

But think of the birds when the floods start to recede 🙄

I so nearly dropped in on the way through this afternoon. What a fantastic looking bird!

Haha, I will try my best. However hopefully my next Shropshire YBW find will be in a more twitchable location!

@sheldonbirds.bsky.social Interesting thought. Difficult as hard to know how much birds plumage has changed in 1+ month. I can see fairly clear differences in both birds from photos, but particularly the female type (much larger/whiter patches on head.

Thanks Ion! And apologies for the autocorrected name!

A good record that now Ian. We don't get many high counts of CD. Can you add this one to Birdtrack if you haven't already?
