A morning at Southport

Long-tailed duck 1 juv. on Junction Pool Marshside
Twite 100 on saltmarsh just north of pier
Goldeneye 2 males on the marine lake
Black-tailed godwit 500 Marshside
Pintail
Wigeon
Golden plover 100 Marshside
Teal
Pink-footed geese

The Twite were best seen in flight, but we did see them on the ground on several occasions, though it's amazing how they just disappear once they land!


Junction Pool at Marshside is now Junction lake. I don't recall ever seeing Marshside so flooded.


The Long-tailed duck which arrived last November is still present though.


Count the Black-tailed godwits!

Drake Goldeneye on the marine lake. No sign of the Great Northern Diver today though
