AFTERNOON'S BIRDING AROUND DELAMERE FOREST

I spent this afternoon around Eddisbury Hill looking for tree sparrows, and it didn't take long to locate 2 birds, which showed well in the end.

A Green Woodpecker was also showing well in the same area calling.

Late afternoon was spent in Delamere Forest again, where I had two Common Crossbills, and then at least another 10 birds flew over, but they couldn't be relocated in the fading light.  #LOCALBIGYEAR

RUSSIAN WHITE FRONTED GEESE-CHESHIRE

News broke this morning that two Russian White Fronted Geese were with a mixed goose flock in a field west of M56 viewed from Thornton Green Lane,Wimbolds Trafford.I made my way there, and it didn't take long to relocate the geese in with pink-footed geese.

After good views of the two geese, I moved on to Delamere Forest to have a look for some Common Crossbills. No birds were seen after a good few hours of searching, but a treecreeper showed well, and 7 goosanders were on Blakemere Moss.  #LOCALBIGYEAR
