Prescot Reservoirs

Red-crested Pochard 2 (male and female)
Red-breasted Goose 1 (adult)
Barnacle Goose 60
Redshank 1
Gulls - a lot

The drake Red-crested Pochard was a simply stunning bird, the pair seen on No. 3 Res.

Red-crested Pochard: Year 226


The St Helens "black" goose flock. A Red-breasted Goose with about 60 Barnacle Geese and a single Canada Goose. Also note the hybrid goose immediately behind the Canada which looks superficially like a small race Canada. This flock commutes to Martin Mere in the winter, where the Red-breasted Goose sets pulses racing.
