Good luck to all sites participating in tomorrow's West Midlands All-Day Birdwatch. Sadly the only rain is just before dusk + the wind moves westerly; hopefully enough birds already in circulation to create a few surprises. Please keep social media updated with #westmidsalldayer

Could you get involved in the Wetland Bird Survey? 🦆
Blithfield Reservoir needs 3-4 volunteers to carry out WeBS surveys. It requires one visit a month on a pre-set date (Sundays) provided by the BTO. Volunteers must be able to identify common waterbirds and have a telescope.
