A great day around the county started with WeBS counts and assists, and a mega flock of 157 sinensis, then home to tractors and gulls in front of #salopobs with a 3cy YLG and LBBG rings from Germany and the Netherlands 👌 #ukbirding

Two county rares amongst a catch of 72/15 was a good result from a cloudy night at #salopobs. Scarce Bordered Straw and Delicate, both lovely moths and immaculate #teammoth #salopmoths @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

October getting into its stride at #salopobs. More #nocmig Common Scoters and the first Merveille du Jour last night, then a gorgeous 50spp morning including the first push of 2,580 #vismig Woodpigeons, raptors, Skylarks, Mipits, buntings... #loveautumn #ukbirding ebird.org/checklist/S3...

Corn Bunting has become more and more regular at #salopobs over the last few years, but this morning's flock of 14 doubled the previous high #ukbirding

What's the frequency of Vestals @ #salopobs Tom? Several at CMO this summer/autumn plus - in one strip of grass near the NWT VC - we recorded over 20 different individuals over the course of a week or so. And they were relatively uncommon until then. Amazing scenes! (Ditto L-album Wainscot).

Vestals have taken on the baton from SMWs in terms of daily occurrence in the #salopobs mothtrap, although there were two of each today in the sea of Lunar Underwings #salopmoths #teammoth

Red sky in the morning, gloriously-sunny-and-freakishly-warm-for-September warning. Migrant Song Thrushes at #salopobs first thing, and another flock of #nocmig Common Scoters overnight #ukbirding

Watching and listening to Common Scoters on the coast the other day reminded me of another flock of #nocmig birds over #salopobs last week, the same night as a Turnstone, garden tick 💥153💥 our 20th species of wader! #ukbirding

7 drake and 1 female Common Scoter in flight over the sea. Imagine a similar flock heading west over woods and stubble fields in the dark! 🤯

Came home to find 2 ad YLGs behind #salopobs with 620 LBBGs and a plough. Not as good odds as #GooleFields (where these were taken), but nice to see after such a lean summer for them (not just me it seems, as mentioned in the latest @birdguides.bsky.social podcast) #lovegulls
