I spent this morning at Arrowe park and it didnt take long to find the resident Mandarin ducks,4 were seen.A good selection of woodland birds were also recorded in the park.
I then drove to Burton RSPB and spent a few good hours on the reserve.
The reserve was quiet today but it did produce a Spotted Redshank,Cetti's warbler and an elusive Woodcock.
A walk to Burton point produced 2 Great White egrets out on the estuary.
Moving on to Denhall quay I connected with 3 Short eared owls and it was nice to see fellow birders not out on the marsh disturbing the Owls and other species.
As the day was coming to an end I headed to Parkgate and had a great few hours birding.A male Hen Harrier showed really well and at least 7 Marsh Harriers put in a fine performance.
I waited till 16.45 looking over Neston reedbed,a Merlin was seen sat out on a post and then the bird I wanted came in to roost a Bittern.The bird flew right past me and some other birders and showed well as we watched it fly into the reedbed.
A good afternoons birding and a few more quality birds for the list. #LOCALBIGYEAR
