Just heard my first Willow Warbler of the spring . Albrighton 😃ShropshireBirdingNews

First thing this morning at Venus pool , I was enjoying seeing my first Common sandpiper of the year when a Little gull dropped in. Just as i was about to drive out I had a message from John Martin to say a second bird had arrived . Fantastic birds.

ShropshireBirdingNews regular sightings now of a single red kite above the A519 Newport to Woodseves Road.

Fantastic news! An ACE Labour MP has acted for the birds …. Email your MP simply asking them to sign this EDM - will take you and then 2 seconds! edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti…

Very lucky to find this female Ferruginous duck on my local nature reserve, it’s never had anything rare on it before, surprisingly the first Shropshire record for 23 years!

Maximum crop and a whole 10 days before my first last year . A pair of House Martin over my local church , now where’s are those Swifts for the set ?

I waited until the rain had cleared this afternoon before heading ShropshireBirdingNews Venus Pool Nature Reserve.

Lesser whitethroat garden ✅ , lovely views albeit too brief to grab the camera

Hopefully we see a few of you tomorrow at Venus pool . You don’t have to be an expert to take part . Over the years we’ve missed House sparrow , collared dove and starling amongst other very common birds

73 species recorded for Venus pool yesterday for the West mids all dayer . Many thanks to all those who gave their time to help us achieve this total . Some cracking birds recorded from all the sites taking part throughout the day

Always great to spend time on #Cleehill and photograph some of its bird species, stonechat and meadow pipit. Still looking for wheatears ! RSPB Canon UK and Ireland BBC Springwatch BBC Wildlife ShropshireBirdingNews

Recovery: Woodock was originally ringed using Thermal Tech in Shropshire Richard Tomlinson on 22/01/2025 has been recovered shot for hunting 2978km away on 16/04/2025 in Nizhniy, Novgorod, Russia. Sad to see but positive that the hunters report these too us.

Spotted in Shropshire: one very fashion-forward Starling skipping the feathers this season. A bit chilly for the no-coat look, but she’s rocking it! Also sporting a quirky beak, but feeding like a champ and looking healthy. Natures got style and surprises! 🌟🦩

Breaking news!The government has just voted against the same swift brick amendment they voted for 2 years ago. We can only save our swifts if we all act. Email your MP. Ask them to sign edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti… MEET your MP. Tell them how much this matters or we’ll lose them

‘I think this probably defines the concept of a no-brainer. Instead of using a normal brick, you use a hollow one. No one loses and the swift wins.’- ⁦Jeremy Clarkson⁩ Thank you so much Jeremy Clarkson - eternal swift legend. thetimes.com/life-style/wil…

Nice to return to Venus Pool, and my first Nuthatch of the year to boot! ShropshireBirdingNews
