Eccleston Mere

Pintail 1 f
Pochard 6 mm
Gadwall 2 (m&f)
Teal 2 or 3 calling from the wet wood
Tufted duck 13 (8mm, 5ff)
Snipe 3

This was my 7th Pintail at Eccleston Mere, but the first for 10 years. All of the previous birds have appeared singularly and all have been in the Autumn. Initially it was on the water, but after about five minutes it flew off towards Prescot Reservoirs.
