Surprised myself by making it to #MalvernHills

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

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.

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

This Wheatear in Chat Valley, North Hill #MalvernHills this morning was a new arrival.

A single Wheatear remained on North Hill #MalvernHills early this morning.

A couple of Swallows and a few House Martins heading south were the only signs of any movement.

Two Wheatear on the north #MalvernHills this morning - singles on Worcestershire Beacon (pictured) and North Hill.

Otherwise quiet with just a few House Martins heading south.

Normal service has been resumed on a return visit to North Hill #MalvernHills this evening.

This brightly plumaged Wheatear was showing in exactly the same spot as this morning's Dotterel.

#WorcsBirds

It has been many years since I saw a Dotterel on the #MalvernHills so was very pleased to find this juvenile on North Hill early this morning.

Juvenile Dotterel on #MalvernHills early morning. Initially on North Hill before relocating to adjacent Table Hill and still showing at 7.55am.

#WorcsBirds

Three Wheatear were fresh in on the northern #MalvernHills early morning; 1 on Sugarloaf Hill & 2 on Worcs Beacon.

A steady stream of southbound hirundines was enlivened by the presence of several Sand Martins - a species I've never seen flying along the high tops before.

#WorcsBirds

Wheatear still on North Hill, #MalvernHills early morning and 2 Tree Pipits briefly before continuing south.
