Eccleston Mere

Water Rail 1 (SW corner)
Snipe 1 flew over
Goldeneye 1 female
Tufted Duck 2
Teal 1 heard
Buzzard 1
Sparrowhawk 1 with prey

Now is the time to catch up with the Water Rail if you've still not seen it yet this year. The ground is frozen and it is now forced to feed in the ditch, the only part of its preferred habitat which remains ice free. I had two good views of it today in the SW corner.
