Further to Kevin McGee’s record in the Worcestershire Record No. 23 November 2007 pp. 42-46 of Tachina ursina in Wyre Forest, on the Shropshire side of Dowles Brook on 27 March 2007. I can now report a Worcestershire site for this Tachinid fly within Wyre Forest. This was largely thanks to a chance meeting with Brett Westwood on 15 March 2009 who was out looking for this fly. We both walked to Pound Green Common where I managed to locate one in an open glade. Later on Brett spotted another specimen nearby at Pound Green Coppice
