AFTERNOONS BIRDING AT LEASOWE LIGHTHOUSE

I spent this afternoon birding the North wirral coast with my partner Dianne.We parked up at Meols and headed towards the lighthouse.Swallows were passing over us in good numbers as we headed towards Wrynecks rise and a female Stonechat put in an appearance before flying off.
Four Ravens flew over us we headed towards the pond and a Migrant hawker dragonfly was seen as we walked along the nature trail.
Heading around the nature trail it was very quiet.

With the high tide due in we headed back to the coastal path were we connected with a Mediterranean gull sat preening on the sea,close in with Black headed gulls and a juvenile Knot was casual feeding along the tide line.

JUVENILE KNOT ON THE TIDELINE
As we walking back to the car five Little egrets flew inland off the sea.A quiet afternoons birding but good to be out and about
