Something's wrong with my PC. Can no longer see photos on it. My GMS species this morning were S and C Quaker, C Drab, H Character, and Early Thorn. #teammoth

Got to Earlswood in good time to see an adult Med Gull found by Matt G. The near-adult YLGull was also present #PWC26

Too difficult for me. Maybe a Grapholita sp?

The Bittell Snow Bunting. Phew, just got there in time. Thanks to Rob W for message. It disappeared by 15:45 but may have gone to roost. Not seen to fly off.

Snow Bunting at Upper Bittell on the dam at south west corner. #worcsbirds

I'd like to think the county recorders would exercise due diligence. Agree it's frustrating to see.

Just had my first two of the winter too.

Heard a Dunlin over Morton Bagot this morning. Only the third there in the 2020's. #PWC25 #Patchbirding

Never seen that one.👍

Rusty-dot Pearl

Mottled Umber

December Moth

Sprawler

My last garden moth-trap of the year produced 29 moths of 19 species. Nfg was Rusty-dot Pearl, and nfy were Sprawler, December Moth, November Moth ag, Mottled Umber, and Winter Moth. Garden list now 461, and Garden Year-list 276. My best year to date. #Teammoth

When was the Arctic Warbler found at Blithfield? I certainly saw that. I thought 1990s?

Beaded Chestnut

Lozotaeniodes formosana

Turnip

10 of 6 on my penultimate GMS night of the season. Nfy was Beaded Chestnut, and making a surprise reappearance was an Orange Pine Tortrix #Teammoth

Large Yellow Underwing

White Point

Chestnut (first since March 7)

Avoided a Wogan thanks to the three Amigos; Large Y Underwing, White Point, and Chestnut #Teammoth

Figure of Eight

Feathered Thorn and White Point

Brick

Green-brindled Crescent

Excellent GMS night. 32 of 18 including Figure of Eight nfg (lifer), and 6 nfy; Black Rustic, White-point, Yellow-line Quaker, Brick (1st since 2018), Green-brindled Crescent (1st since 2019), and Feathered Thorn #teammoth

Adult Dark-bellied Brent Goose.

The Brent Goose at Earlswood. Thanks to Matt Griffiths who found it while doing the WEBS count. #PWC2025 #warksbirds

Brent Goose still showing well at Earlswood. 3rd record for site, others were 1897 and 2002. Patch gold #PWC2025 #warksbirds

Cypress Carpet

Treble Brown Spot, 2nd gen after none in spring.

Merveille Du Jour

15 of 8 last night #Redditch including Cypress Carpet (nfg), Treble Brown Spot and Merveille Du Jour (both nfy) #teammoth

Released on Severn Estuary. Ran out of space.

Crossbill over Morton Bagot this morning. Also one of the ringers, Ischia, mentioned she had rescued a Manx Shearwater from a car park in Droitwich on 18 Sept. Here's a photo of it. I understand it was taken to Vale Wildlife Sanctuary and later released on the Severn #Worcsbirds #Warksbirds

Frosted Orange

Brown-spot Pinion

Barred Sallow

Common Marbled Carpet and Light Emerald

43 of 17 for me last night. A Frosted Orange was a garden tick (but a spider got to it before I did). Nfy were Brown-spot Pinion and Barred Sallow #Redditch #teammoth

Old Lady....typically tatty

A Yellow-tail was unexpected.

Yellow-tail

Riband Wave

Caught 83 moths of 22 species last night in garden. Three species were nfy Lunar Underwing, Brindled Green, and my first Old Lady for several years. #teammoth

Yes, I'm not sure why PWC haven't changed my score on the score sheet. I have been having trouble updating it, so it could be my fault. You're doing really well this year. Congratulations on your lead.

Well done Dan. Still hoping for one on my Morton Bagot patch.

The two juv Little Stints were still at Earlswood Lakes this am. #PWC25 10km circle tick. #Warksbirds

Red-necked Phalarope was still at Upper Bittell this lunchtime.

Red Underwing nfg at last

Hedge Rustic nfg

Cypress Pug nfy (2nd for garden)

Carcina quercana nfy

Some excitement last night when I finally caught a Red Underwing. 61 of 14 including two nfg and two nfy. Nearly overlooked the other nfg, which was a rather worn Hedge Rustic #teammoth #Redditch

Eclipse drake Garganey

Excellent morning at Morton Bagot patch. Loads of Blackcaps and other warblers in hedgerows. Highlights were 10 k patch year-tick Tree Pipit, plus Garden Warbler, and the long-staying Garganey. Only downside was missing a Spot Fly #PWC25

Wow, fantastic.

Didn't add anything extra

I believe we finished on 69 as Matt didn't anything extra.
