The adult male Wheatear remained on a fogbound North Hill #MalvernHills this morning - pic from last Sunday.

No sign of the Snow Bunting but plenty of Redwings heard moving west through Happy Valley.

#WorcsBirds

The Snow Bunting was still favouring the summit of North Hill #MalvernHills this evening.

#WorcsBirds

No sign of the Stone Curlew @ Ryall Court Pits. Looks like pit has flooded from last weekend. #WorcsBirds

The adult male Wheatear on North Hill #MalvernHills this morning. Unusual to see one on the hills in this plumage at this time of year - note the deformed bill.

Occasionally it was in same view as the Snow Bunting.

Lovely stroll around the Wyre Forest this morning. 10 mins with a male Lesser Spotted Woodpecker feeding in a dead tree. Second LSW close by, and a third heard calling as I walked back to the car. Several Marsh Tit.
Water levels still very low in Dowles Brook. No ducks or Dipper. #worcsbirds

A few of the many photos taken of the confiding Snow Bunting on North Hill this morning, well worth the hike! #WorcsBirds

The first-winter female Snow Bunting was still favouring the summit of North Hill #MalvernHills this morning.

Also an adult male Wheatear on North Hill, Brambling over Worcestershire Beacon and a few Redwings, Redpolls & Siskins through Happy Valley.

Fantastic to lose 45 minutes in the company of the North Hill Snow Bunting this afternoon. A lovely bird which was busy feeding around the summit the whole time. I just sat and watched. Cheers to @brianstretch.bsky.social #MalvernHills #WorcsBirds

Stone-curlew still south end of Ryall Court Pits late afternoon #WorcsBirds

Snow Bunting still at top of North Hill at 15.25 #Worcsbirds

With a brisk north-westerly wind continuing for a second day I was hopeful of finding a Snow Bunting on the #MalvernHills.

Et voilà! This beauty was favouring the summit of North Hill.

Also my first Bramblings, Redwings, Redpolls & Siskins of the autumn through Happy Valley.

#WorcsBirds

Two Wheatear on North Hill #MalvernHills late this afternoon; the bird present on Sunday remains and has been joined by a paler individual.

#WorcsBirds

Eurasian Stone-curlew is a rare visitor to our home county of #Worcestershire.

So when one turned up near Upton upon Severn, it generated plenty of interest amongst local #birders.
