23rd May 2023. A Honey Buzzard flew in from the E/SE & was mobbed by a Peregrine, before circling over Wassell Grove Pools & heading off North, pursued by a Common Buzzard! The first record at Lutley Wedge & the 149th species for the local patch! #vismig @Worcs_bird @WorcsBirding

Lutley Wedge Worcs 18/10 Around 50+ Redwing lifted out of the hedgerows at Wassell Grove pools last night, excitedly ‘seeping’ upwards into the rapidly darkening dusk sky. Pure #vismig #nocmig magic!

Expected #vismig arriving into the East coast of UK ahead of the major rain front through tonight, with potentially fall conditions moving up the East coast through tomorrow as the frontal weather and rain this side of the North Sea tracks north.

It’s been a wild and wet day on Fair Isle today, stung by vicious showers at times. Autumn is definitely here! @FI_Obs
