I’ve seen a handful of Turnstones at Clifton, but never actually found one myself. So I was chuffed to find a summer plumage bird feeding along the east shore of the main pit this morning. Also 6 Black Terns, a Ruff and Greenshank still. #WorcsBirds #BirdingCentral

Totally get this. I’ve been very fortunate to visit a few far flung places, and would always peruse the local bird guide while enjoying afternoon tea β˜•οΈπŸ°

Great to find only my 2nd Marsh Harrier at Clifton Pits this morning, and even better to know it was tracked down by @midlandsbirder.bsky.social in Worcester.

A Spotted Redshank on the NW shore of Clifton main pit this afternoon was a surprise, to say the least #WorcsBirds #BirdingCentral

Always great in the garden, and a perfect portrait of a GSW

Very pleased, and quite surprised to have found a Snow Bunting in a wet field at Longdon, Worcestershire, this morning.

Thanks Craig. Just 56 Tufteds, 10 Pochard, 9 Goosander, 67 Pintail. Didn’t count Wigeon or Teal, the cold got the better of me.

Very pleased to find a drake Ring-necked Duck resting on Clifton main pit amongst a greatly increased number of wildfowl this morning. #WorcsBirds

A particularly cute 1w Little Gull spent just over an hour on Clifton main pit this morning before heading off south.

A Ruff was visible on the SE shoreline of the main pit this morning before entering the narrow drainage channel. Also a Whinchat S of main, and 2 Great Egrets.
