        It's the West Midlands all-dayer tomorrow (Saturday) and as usual we're taking part at RSPB Middleton Lakes . If you'd like to join us, or if you're just birding there tomorrow you can contribute by direct messaging me or Mark Smiles with your sightings

        3 Common Terns in the gull roost in the last dying rays of light bring RSPB Middleton Lakes to a final score of 96 for the #westmidsalldayer. Glossy Ibis the undoubted highlight but frustrating to miss out on Marsh Harrier, Pochard & Garden Warbler seen in the preceding days.
