@WildZooPark When you say out, as in 3 that have somehow escaped? and when please? Do these birds have any rings or tags? Is one of them as per my description with secondary feathers missing in right wing?

[David Jackson @davejredditch]

A White Stork circled above North Moors between 13:34 - 13:37, then drifted North. The bird had a couple of secondary feathers missing from right wing - Upton Warren, Moors Pool.
Assuming no escapes come to light, this is species 214 for me at Upton Warren.

New bird from the garden - male WHEATEAR - looking for birds of prey, out the corner of my eye, saw a bird flick off the roof of one of the bungalows, seemed to have a white rump, ran upstairs, nothing, waited 30 seconds and up it came on roof of house ✅
