AFTERNOON BIRDING AT LEASOWE

I spent the early afternoon today with local patch watchers Allan Conlin and Eddy Williams. Walking down Lingham Lane, we soon connected with several Chiffchaff and Willow warblers, and Blackcaps were all in full song.



There were a good number of Willow Warblers around Leasowe today

Blackcap

The horse paddocks were very quiet but held Blackbird and Song Thrush. At the end of Lingham Lane, we entered the farmer's field where we saw a Reed warbler and Allan found a Grasshopper Warbler in the corner of the field, reeling away.
Walking back towards Park Lane, we entered the horse paddocks and I found a female Yellow wagtail, but the bird flew high as we watched it for a few seconds. There were also a good number of Wheatear in the fields around Park Lane.



14 Wheatear Were Seen In Fields Off Park Lane
