    How to see Leach's Petrel

    The advantage of New Brighton is there is shelter. Whereas Leasowe is totally open to the elements. Hoylake (where Jane is) is another good option with plenty of shelter only down side is viewing is quite low. Cheers Jason

    How to see Leach's Petrel

    I would expect New Brighton at first light may be quite productive. It was noticable today after high tide the wind dropped considerably which pushed the seabirds way out beyond the turbines. Will probably have another go tomorrow though. Cheers Jason

    How to see Leach's Petrel

    Seems to be swinging NW through the early hours and gaining some strength. After a small job in Maghull in the morning a few hours looking out to sea may be in order. Cheers Jason

    Didn't even attempt to go through the waders. 1 Curlew Sand at Meols I forgot about. Cheers Jason

    How to see Leach's Petrel

    Started at Fort Perch 8-10am only a few Manxies, Common Scoters and a Razorbill. Then went to Leasowe 10-11am very poor here just 1 Bonxie and a few Manxies. So headed to the lifeboat station at Hoylake 11-2pm and what a vast improvement? 1 Sabines Gull & a prob, 1 prob Grey Phal, 10+Bonxies...

    How to see Leach's Petrel

    Think it is possibly worthy of a speculative punt tomorrow from New Brighton. Winds increasing overnight turning slightly WNW through the morning. Cheers Jason

    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    Hi Greg, Your possible Kumlien's is probably a pale 1w Herring Gull, I possibly photographed the same bird last Saturday. I would say on your photos the patterniang of the scapulars and tertials are very Herring Gull. Compare it to a 1w I photographed in 2009 here. Cheers Jason

    Lothian Birding

    I decided on Eastfield this afternoon tho later than I would have liked. Quite hypnotic if not slightly monotonous a roost that contains the same species. Great numbers of BH Gulls and Common Gulls with a few larger gulls mixed in and no Med's picked out. With such a large roost of Common Gulls...

    Lothian Birding

    I may give eastfield a go, I have looked on the map and it highlights a factory is this Joppa? If not some simple directions would be great. Cheers Jason

    Lothian Birding

    Cheers for the info. Paid Seafield sewage works a visit, pretty much as expected lots of BH Gulls in and around the filter beds and Herring Gulls loafing on the sea. Think I may give a decent roost a visit if you can provide me info. Cheers Jason

    Lothian Birding

    I noticed on an earlier post Cramond was mentioned for gulls, is there a decent landfill in the Edinburgh area? I am working in the city for the week coming up and if I have any free time would be itching to get out and have a look. Cheers Jason
