A few autumn waders in close up from the Scrapes at Minsmere - a group of Snipe feeding out in the open, also Ruff, Lapwing and Grey Plover, to name but a few of the varied species present!

Eurasian Stone-curlew is a rare visitor to our home county of #Worcestershire.

So when one turned up near Upton upon Severn, it generated plenty of interest amongst local #birders.

The latest 2026 UK waterbird statistics provide a fascinating mixed picture.
Some waders are doing well.

Friday 2/10 at @RSPBFrampton with @karenheath62, lots of decent birds seen, Buff-Breasted Sandpiper, Little Stint, Curlew Sandpipers and finally a nice male Merlin this year, although very distant with far too much heat haze.
