Male Little Ringed Plover at @WestMidBirdClub Belvide Reserve, Staffs, taken earlier this summer. I wonder where it is now on its journey to sub-Saharan Africa, for the winter. The wonders of Bird migration! #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Birdphotography

Many thanks to the 20 sites who participated in yesterday's #westmidsalldayer - 4 sites managed to break the 100 mark with Blithfield narrowly pipping Belvide to the post. I'll pull together a list of all the species seen across the sites (usually c140 species). Well done all 👏

Don't forget it's the West Mids all dayer tomorrow!! A chance to see how many bird species can be spotted at different sites in one day, across the region. Use #WestMidsAllDayer and tag @pmandrews1973 to share updates from your local patch tomorrow! 🐦

Fantastic news! A Nightjar was ringed at @LaneMarsh last night, just a stone’s throw from Birmingham Airport ✈️. That makes 6 in 4 years, all juveniles, highlighting a clear migration route for these elusive birds 🌙🪶. #Nightjar #BirdMigration
