A quest to see how many birds I can see from pubs...

Joined July 2015
Brief views of the Yellow Browed Warbler at Westport Lake Stoke followed by a Lifer at the Whippet Inn, Wolstanton.

The Woodcock, Cockshutt, Shropshire. That pub sign's a lifer and it would be if I listed pub bird cushions which I don't. I do paintings though so this lovely Red Kite counts.

Not sure you'd find a live Water Rail anywhere in Upper Teesdale but this one at the High Force Hotel is a stuffed lifer for me.

A fabulous set of ten beer mats featuring Birds of the North Pennines as seen at the Langdon Beck Hotel in Upper Teesdale.

Another one to keep an eye out for !
🍺NEW CASK BEER🍺 NISUS 🦅 3.4% PALE ALE The Munich heavy malt base, combined with a hefty dose of Idaho 7, gives this pale a wonderful malt depth back up with zesty tangerine aromas 🍊

Excellent drop of @weetwoodales Jester at the Morris Dancer in Kelsall. Nothing much to see / hear from under the wisteria pergola in the pub garden but a couple of goodies inside. I'm not allowing Snowy Egret but Goshawk is a Pub Painting Lifer.

Pumpclip birds like buses. Wait for ages then two at once. Superb pint of Hook Norton Merula Stout at Glass House 'Spoons in St Helens.

Don't think a Red Kite technically is a falcon but what a beauty on this former inn sign from a pub in Thame.

A couple from Warwickshire. Gorgeous Red Grouse cushion at the Rose & Crown, Ratley plus a nice framed Kestrel photo at the Fox in nearby Loxley.

Red Kite on at the New Lancaster in Scarborough. A popular bird for pump clips this one (cf Squawk Milvus, Ossett Excelsius)!

A pub garden lifer for me. Grey Plover showing well along with Dunlin and Redshank on the Humber Estuary outside the Crown & Anchor, Kilnsea. #pubbirding

A lifer for my Pub Bird Paintings. Hobby tucked away in one of the recesses of the Morris Dancer, Kelsall.

And a fine sign it was too.
Pub Sign of the Week: The Knot, Ellesmere Port. A depiction of the Knot wading bird, named after King Canute due to his association with the tide. Suspect the pub was actually named after a sailor's knot due to the close proximity of the docks. Demolished 2015. #PubSignThursday

Flaky, strange looking Snipe in glorious Audenshaw - my birthplace.
