Hawfinch & Brent Goose local highlights


Hawfinches are back
What a beak!
St Bartholomews Church
Autumnal colours
The Flashes, Upton Warren
Long-tailed Tit
Green Sandpiper
 Juvenile Brent Goose

With the second round of COVID restrictions in place and homeworking now on it's eighth month, I've been very grateful to see some nice birds very close to home. On the back of the Crossbills at the Lickeys, 3-4 Hawfinches have been visiting Tardebigge Church again where I pass on my bike. I've called in four times to date and seen them every time however a degree of patience is needed and the chances of a photo are very slim.

Just a couple of miles down the road a juvenile Brent Goose was found on the Flashes at Upton Warren. The bird has been there for over a week now and looks very settled. Viewing remains from the public footpaths. Also observed was a Stonechat, Dunlin & Green Sandpiper on the visit.
