The Wyre Forest

On 11/05, we had a very pleasant family day out in and around Bewdley, Worcestershire, on a glorious sunny day.

Of course, I managed to shoehorn in a walk in the Wyre Forest in the hope I might bump into of it's specialities.

Pied Flycatchers were the overwhelming highlight, with a number of singing males showing excellently well in their favoured areas. Also managed to encounter a couple of Redstart, Tree Pipit and a newly arrived Spotted Flycatcher, plus a surprise SLow Worm. All in all a successful walk, particularly as we didn't venture too far!








To finish the day, we enjoyed dinner by the River Serven in Bewdley itself, joined by a very showy female Goosander and lots of Sand Martins zipping about!
