If you're visiting us here in #Worcester allow extra time to see this stunning male Black Redstart in the city centre.
Originally found on the Cathedral in November, more recently he has frequented both All Saints Church and St. Andrew's Spire.

3 new life birds in 2024. Yellow Warbler, Scarlet Tanager & Pale legged Leaf Warbler. Not as many as in 2023 but that was a bumper year nowadays. Quality over quantity.

So my local 10km list ends on a record 119 species, beating the previous by 23! Let’s see what we can do next year but it will be a hard total to beat! #UKBirding
