    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    Thanks Jane. It appears that we've had a small influx in the N W as one on Anglesey from around 20th May at undisclosed site.

    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    As far as I'm aware there is a single male that's following a pair of Grey Partridge around and occasionally getting chased for its troubles. I was there last night with about 10 people viewing from the road over a hedge and the bird was completely unconcerned by our presence. The paddock has...

    Be aware there has been a very pale Buzzard at Gowy Water Meadows for a number of years that also hovers alongside the M56!

    A well spent hour or so at BMW last night with Pec, R N Phalarope, 2 Little Stints and lots of Spot Redshank showing from IMF hide. Watched the Cattle Egret & Great White Egret come into roost in the trees by the mere.

    Here you go. Grebe showed well but was initially very elusive as it was hugging the far bank. Weather atrocious but I went back in afternoon during a break in the weather.

    CB Any idea where the Twite record came from earlier this week of two 'still by Leasowe golf club on wall by gorse bushes at 9.17 am' per RBA. I thought Leasowe golf course was miles away from the usual site in the pony paddocks by the Lighthouse. Seems very strange that they moved a few miles...

    More Buff-bellied pics just put up on my blog. Be interesting to see how, if at all, plumage changes over the next couple of months if it hangs around although I suspect it'll move off with the Meadow Pipits. It appears to have moulted its longest tertial which may be the start of a...

    Late record for Monday 6th Jan from a good mate of mine and a very reliable observer. Male Lesser-spotted Woodpecker calling and drumming Stanney Woods, Ellesmere Port. Glad to see he's hanging on - I've seen a male every year for the past few years but never a female although a pair were...

    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    I can't see that anyone could have 'harassed' the bird without scrambling down a bank, climbing over a barbed wire fence and walking across the tide wrack. Loads of people park there at weekends to walk their dogs, bird watch, read the Sunday papers (really). There is lots of disturbance at this...
