Who told me and others that someone else had already removed the lock so he had just left the gate wide open. Not quite the same as "it was felt necessary to remove the lock"

I am one of the regular Grimley birders and (for now) a WMBC member. No one ever uses the so called WMBC carpark and never has so feel free to strongly advise whatever you like. The only person who parked where they shouldn't today was your own Worcestershire officer

I was in Harrogate today, but if I hadn't been I would have been at work ☹️

Patch Hopcroft @patch67.bsky.social · May 19

Yep I know where you mean 👍

Patch Hopcroft @patch67.bsky.social · May 19

Nice one Gert. First record of the year for RP. Where was the Redstart? Our passage birds have generally gone through by now.

Not a particularly exciting All-Dayer but still thoroughly enjoyable. Very satisfied with seeing 70 of the 89 total at Grimley, and as usual thanks for the great company #westmidsalldayer
