Brilliant day! Starting the day strong with 15 Belted Beauty with Marc Hughes.Nice twitch to Shropshire for the stunning Black kite, making it my 300th bird for Britain. Finishing the day of with a rapid dash to Conwy RSPB for a red-rumped swallow. Celebratory pint. 224 ✅


Nice weeks work in the Midlands with Marc Hughes seeing plenty of interesting bits. Nice walk around RSPB Middleton Lakes with nice year ticks. My second hoopoe of the year in a local horse paddock. Then a few hours at Cannock chase with nice views of tree pipit and cuckoo. 232 ✅

Another great week’s birding in the West Midlands, visiting a few of the reserves. Unfortunately another alpine accentor dip at Flamborough. Nice curlew sandpiper found by Marc Hughes and Hobby at Middleton. Week finished off with a lifer of Spotted Sandpiper. 241 ✅
