West Midlands Spring Bird Race 2016

This year and hopefully in subsequent years from now on, the Warks bird race took place on the same day as the spring all-dayer that has been organised at Upton Warren for many years, and at other key West Midlands region birding sites more recently too. The "Ladywalk Loons" did really well to come first in this #WestMidsBirdRace list as well when you look at the competition! I'm really pleased with Team Earlswood's position here too for the same reason. But all patches got good scores, so well done all :-)
