Cetti's Warbler 1 (Neston sewage works)
Hen Harrier 1 (male, Parkgate)
Black-tailed Godwit 1700 (Thurstaston)
Pintail 1000 ((Thurstaston))
Peregrine 1 (Thurstaston)
Oystercatcher 9000 (Thurstaston)
Jack Snipe 11 (West Kirby Saltmarsh)
It was a bitterly cold day at Neston, where we spent two hours standing in one spot waiting for the Cetti's Warbler to show. Oh, well, it could have been worse - I nearly went for the Glaucous-winged Gull instead. :-)
Amazing numbers of waders at Thurstaston, I don't think I've ever seen so many Black-tailed Godwits. Meanwhile, at West Kirby, Jack Snipe were flying up from everywhere. Some of these birds were almost flying up from under our feet. A great experience, with Hilbre as a backdrop.
