Seasons are changing in Evesham, Worcester with a reduced number of birds seen and ringed last night, however great to see and ring 2 Grey Partridge, 1 Fieldfare, 7 Skylark and 1 surprised Mallard, we were sure it was smiling too.

A top temperature of 17.5c today at Shawbury in #Shropshire, another stunning day forecast tomorrow with temperatures maybe creeping a little higher. Make the most of it, cold, cloud & rain returns next week.🥶
