Spent late morning looking around for the Water pipit at Neston as it had been reported showing well in the fields next to the sewage works.I trudged through the wet fields but there was no sign of it. I carried on walking down to Neston reed bed and saw plenty of different species of birds.
Redwings were in good numbers in the surrounding fields

Song Thrush
Little Egret
Pink footed geese were flying around on the marsh
Good numbers of Goldfinch were seen
There were four Grey Wagtails feeding in the fields
Anyway there was no sign of the Pipit so I moved onto Leasowe to see if anything had dropped in late afternoon.

Footpath off Lingham Lane which leads to the horse paddocks
I started off walking down Lingham lane and saw good numbers of Blackbirds and Goldfinches in the surrounding fields.A Goldcrest was flitting around the brambles near the bridge.

Moving onto the seafront the tide was out but a Little egret was feeding on the shoreline.
