Birding, nature & weather. Local Patch, Northwick, River Severn, Worcester. Thanks for the heads up & the sharing of knowledge. 💚

Northwick, Worcester this afternoon. Really pleased find 2 Kestrel hunting which takes the patch to 92 for the year.

I’m posting more sightings on Bluesky with many other local/national birders. Come & join us. Time to move things forward.

@BrianHu38439740 @WorcsBirding Nice one Brian. The Redshank was still present this evening feeding alongside 2 Green Sands. 👍

The Hunters supermoon above Malvern Town this evening viewed from the Worcestershire Beacon. Unfortunately the comet was hidden behind low cloud in the west. #FullMoon #HuntersMoon #SuperMoon #LoveUKWeather ⁦@MalvHillsTrust⁩

@Michaels051001_ @DaveThroup @UKStormUpdates @Handry_Outlook It’s a great thing. Yesterday nearly broke it. 😂

[Dan Northside @NorthsideDan]

@Michaels051001_ @DaveThroup @UKStormUpdates @Handry_Outlook Ouch. I’m glad you got back safe and sound in the end. It looks like the north midlands are on the receiving end today.

@Michaels051001_ @DaveThroup @UKStormUpdates @Handry_Outlook Were you in it Michael? Me and my mate were talking about how it must have been underneath it. The thing was immense.

@Michaels051001_ @DaveThroup @UKStormUpdates @Handry_Outlook Cheers Michael. Glad you like it. It was fantastic watching the storm drift past.

@DickLaurent96 @UKStormUpdates @Handry_Outlook Nice one. Taken from the top of Table Hill on the north end of The Malvern Hills looking south. 👍

Incredible storm watching as the huge cell made a glancing blow to the Malvern Hills. Photo looking south of 1 of the 3 shelf clouds that passed by. For scale that is the Worcestershire Beacon. Continuous thunder for long periods. ⁦@UKStormUpdates⁩ ⁦@Handry_Outlook⁩

@ClareEGabriel3 Cheers Clare. It was very atmospheric in many ways up there this afternoon.

[Dan Northside @NorthsideDan]

Check this link out. The community has really grown. And is growing still. Fantastic stuff. https://t.co/i00IxPKPDt

Giving the new platform a try. Looks pretty good so far. A lot birders on there already. I’ll still be using this account in parallel for the time being though. Well worth a look!

[Dan Northside @NorthsideDan]

Congratulations to Worcestershire Wildlife Trust for being only the 3rd ⁦@WildlifeTrusts⁩ to start using Bluesky social media platform. I’m sure this move will encourage others to follow.

@WorcsWT @BirdGuides @BirdTrack @WestMidBirdClub @BC_WestMids @savebutterflies @spurnbirdobs @FileyBirdObs Brilliant news. Understand 100% why you feel the need to remain here. Organisations like yourselves using both platforms is how we can move forward. 👏 👏👏 Cheers.

[Dan Northside @NorthsideDan]

Big increase in activity at the new place⬇️ I asked which accounts people would like to see start using the new place too. Yours was suggested, please consider. Thanks.

In the last 2 weeks there’s been a huge movement of birders to a new place to share their sightings. If you’re fed up of the crap being pushed into your stream join us!! The algorithms here don’t like it when you name the place. Clue in the pic. See @WorcsBirding⁩ pinned tweet

[Dan Northside @NorthsideDan]

@GlosterBirder @BirdGuides @BirdTrack @WorcsWT @WestMidBirdClub @BC_WestMids @savebutterflies @spurnbirdobs @FileyBirdObs Hi Mike. Thanks for the reply. I’m not suggesting quitting X. I understand your reasoning. People are hoping you could post in both places. It’ll only take a minute. Cheers. All the best. 👍

[Dan Northside @NorthsideDan]

@roger_broadbent @BirdGuides @BirdTrack @WorcsWT @WestMidBirdClub @BC_WestMids @savebutterflies @spurnbirdobs @FileyBirdObs Hi Roger. That sounds positive. Thanks for the update and thanks to the committee for giving it consideration. Have a good day.
