Nice to see a Peregrine at Stanklyn yesterday. This one (quite a small male) was hunkered down on one of the pylons during the rain. Not great photos as it was grey and wet at the time but still pleasing to see.

If you feel strongly about protecting wildlife and our green spaces help us try and stop WFDC from selling off part Burlish Meadows Country Park to build 3G artifical turf football pitches

Pleased to have 2 Dewick's plusia to the Ni pheromone lure last night in my Kidderminster garden. This is a garden first for me of this migrant species
Patch mega! Camberwell Beauty at Shenstone/Stone (Worcestershire) this afternoon on Stanklyn Lane then flew towards Heath Lane
I was driving back from Chaddesley Woods this afternoon when my phone rang & I pulled over in a pull in at Woodrow to ring back. Then, literally seconds after a male Yellow Wagtail decides to bath in the puddle infront of the car.
Popped to Bonnie's Tearoom near Grimley today with Mrs K and sat outside to get a view across part of Wildgoose NR. As we were tucking into our tea & cake we were lucky enough to have one of the Cuckoos there fly across and perch on the wires next to us.
Was pleased to find a Yellow Wagtail on my local patch at Heath Lane, Stone (Worcestershire) this afternoon. Yellow Wagtails are generally a spring migrant through my patch but some years they will actually breed here.
Male Redstart early pm (after rain) at Stanklyn Lane paddocks but flew off high after a couple of minutes. Also, Male Yellow Wagtail at Heath Lane model aircraft field on plough with 2 White Wagtail and 5 Pied. Stone/Shenstone (Worcs.)
A pair of Peregrines were perched up on one of the pylons along Stanklyn Lane (Stone) yesterday afternoon. What's interesting is that you can clearly see the size difference between the sexes. The male (at the top) is the much smaller bird.
