Malvern Hills (Worcs / Herefordshire Border) I was amazed to see two Red-billed Choughs on British Camp Hill in Saturday 27th July '19. This is only a second record for both Worcestershire (1836 in Tenbury Wells) and Herefordshire. I did not have my camera! Not wanting to add to the mayhem by returning...here is one I photographed in Islay, Scotland, in it's usual coastal habitat. 2nd Photo by Michael Colquhoun (Herefordshire Bird Recorder) on Herefordshire Beacon.
