@btoshropshire.bsky.socialPlease look out for Golden Plover this weekend and add any you see to BirdTrack. A flock of around 80 are currently on the Long Mynd between Shooting Box and the trig point, along with 3 Brambling 🙂

@btoshropshire.bsky.socialThe winter visitors are back! A few of the Shropshire WeBS team recorded returning Wigeon and Goosander on today’s core count, and one found two Whooper Swans at his site near Bishop’s Castle. The birds stayed briefly before flying off to the south.

@btoshropshire.bsky.socialIn the #ShropshireBirds area "our" adult Shelducks make a moult migration and leave us for the Dutch or German coast, or to one of six UK coastal sites, to drop all of their flight feathers in relative safety. Adults depart in June/July and return in November, leaving the juveniles behind.
@btoshropshire.bsky.socialImportant habitat and site maintenance work at Venus Pool NR
1) From 29 September. Major programme of willow scrub management to restore the grassland away from the pool to the north.
2) 5 to 7 October. Annual maintenance work. Essential, but likely to cause some disturbance.

@btoshropshire.bsky.socialIt was an exceptional summer for Quail in Shropshire, too. Please add any notebook records to @birdtrack.bsky.social so that the Shropshire Bird Report for 2026 can better reflect where, when and how many of these enigmatic little birds were present.
@rdpphoto.bsky.socialLongtail feeding on Himalayan Balsam, shame they don't eat the plant.

@jannerbirder.bsky.socialI had Wood Lane NR (Ellesmere) to myself in the rain after work today. Three Green Sandpiper, three Snipe and a Greenshank were the highlights, along with 13 Gadwall, one of my favourite ducks.

@jannerbirder.bsky.socialAn animal rescue centre has said it has seen an increase in the number of birds of prey coming into its care.
Cuan Wildlife Rescue in Much Wenlock said most had been found thin and grounded, most likely due to the hot summer making it difficult for them to find food.
