@matthewrfox @ChaterTodd @Tomonabike46 @handles4forks @BTO_Shropshire It’s close, although I’m nearer Kemberton. Corn Bunting populations are doing well on my patch; increasing from top numbers at 6 individuals when I first started patching there, to 12 in recent years. I’ve never seen numbers as high as that though, amazing stuff!

Ace 2 days w/@_BTO's fab Youth Advisory Panel & Youth Reps. Highlights of guided walk training at @RSPBLakenheath: confiding Bearded Tits, brief Bittern, 2 fly-over Ring-necked Parakeets found by @FinchleyBirder & a Clouded Yellow. Now for Nunnery clean up duty: cue Deep Purple!

[West Oxfordshire Farmland Bird Project @WOXFarmBirds]

@GreenAcres_Farm @handles4forks @fisherandbirder @Vanellus26 @mattthesparrow Definitely worth a go- especially with this weeks recent weather!

@beetlingbirder @_BTO @BTO_Shropshire @sianmercer Thanks Richard!

[Josh Hill @_JoshHill_]

Can’t wait to get started as a @_BTO Youth Representative working with @BTO_Shropshire and @sianmercer to promote nature!

[Josh Hill @_JoshHill_]

@emwright_7 @_BTO @sianmercer Can’t wait to get started!

[Josh Hill @_JoshHill_]

@DavidWalsh22 @sianmercer @lukemarriner249 @_BTO Thanks David!

[Mark Lea @GreenAcres_Farm]

Some might not think this is exciting - you’re wrong! NINE #redlist corn buntings on our wires over CC and sheep is very good news! (sound up) @_JoshHill_

[Josh Hill @_JoshHill_]

@GreenAcres_Farm @Vanellus26 Mostly in the banks in Summer probably looking for insects to feed their chicks with.

[Josh Hill @_JoshHill_]

@GreenAcres_Farm @Vanellus26 Second that, I’ve also seen them regularly within beetle banks.

@BTO_Shropshire @sianmercer Great article thanks for the tag!

[Josh Hill @_JoshHill_]

Great few days spent in North Norfolk last week. Managed four lifers; Dusky Warbler @holmebirdobs , Snow Bunting @RSPBTitchwell , Lesser Yellowlegs @NWTCleyCentre and Twite at Thornham Harbour. Thanks for all the recommendations @DavidWalsh22! Can’t wait to come back!

[Josh Hill @_JoshHill_]

@BTO_Shropshire @GreenAcres_Farm Thanks! Didn’t manage to find any this time around, but they’re bound to be more discreet now they’re feeding more.

Penultimate farmland survey of the year on @GreenAcres_Farm . 21 species total including 124 Linnets, 38 Goldfinches, 3 Stonechats and a Kestrel being some of the highlights.

My thoughts on #LockdownBirding in the latest @ShropsWildlife magazine, including the way that adding records to @BirdTrack gave structure, purpose and a sense of connection when many of us were mourning those aspects of our normal lives.

Grey Wagtails have been accumulating across the past few weeks at Shifnal Sewage Works.
Including this coloured ringed individual “VZ”- ringed at the same location as a juvenile on the 12/09/2018. Spotted on the 31/08/2020. Keep your eyes peeled for the @RingersWm birds!
