    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    Pair of Peregrines at Manchester Airport this PM. Excellent views outside the office. The Manchester Peregrines have been mating in the last few days - wonder if this pair are the same birds - or another local pair!

    Around 12:30 today over Lymm (I wasn't at home and without optics) a very probable Rough-legged buzzard drifted ever higher to the NE, though q low when I first saw it. Immediate impression was long winged buzzard type with wings flat or drooping, even kite-like in proportion.

    Yes, at around 11am yesterday the tide rushed in rapidly, quickly covering the mud and moving the gulls. Apparently the gulls don't tend to gather early morning - so at the current tidal state there is limited time to watch.
