The light was definitely better from the S end! Great photos Martin 👍
Great to see 4 ad & 6 juv Whooper Swans drop in to CLP Grimley this morning. My first there since 2018 and the highest number I have ever seen there 👍 #worcsbirds
A decent morning at Grimley in inclement weather. Rock Pipit, Glossy Ibis, Jack Snipe & 3 Pintail the highlights #worcsbirds
What a great photo Dan 👍
2 Cattle Egrets and 1 Glossy Ibis left CLP again this morning. The Ibis later gave excellent views at Wildgoose. 2 Ringed Plover, Common & Green Sandpipers, lingering Reed Warbler & LS Woodpecker #worcsbirds

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
That's looking good Craig 👍
Wow! That's one old Pipit 👍
I was in Harrogate today, but if I hadn't been I would have been at work â˜šī¸
Yep I know where you mean 👍
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
Great stuff Mike 👍
Great stuff mate 👍

Good shots pal 👍
