Tuesday 17th August 2011 - Shenstone News

I was unable to get around Shenstone today, so here is a round up of sightings on the patch by fellow birders: 

Grey Partridge have successfully bred at Shenstone with 5 Grey Partridges (2 adults and 3 juv) recorded early evening.  A ♂ Common Redstart was present at Stanklyn Lane paddocks and a Hobby was seen over Witch Lane.  A flock of 20+ Mistle Thrushes was also present there (TMH)

2 Corn Buntings were present along Butts Lane this evening (TS)

Also recorded along Witch Lane this evening were 70 Lapwing, c.30 Mistle Thrush, 2 Swift, 25 House Martin and a Kestrel (MP)

    I'm very lucky Bob to have them breed on my patch they are on the red list and are seriously declining nationally
