We’re moving the other side of Bromsgrove soon so will probably be ending recording birds on the patch after 10 years. Downloading data from @BirdTrack here’s the final scores on the doors...
The patch is an area eastish of Bromsgrove in north Worcestershire I call Finstall Park & Tardebigge based on how far I can walk the dog in 1 to 2 hours over mainly pasture, old parkland, arable fields and a small feeder reservoir next to the Birmingham to Worcester canal...
From 16273 records and 549 complete lists I have recorded 121 species. Highlights include;
Black-Necked Grebe 6/8/2018
Curlew 3/4/2018
