I visited Teggs nose county park and Wildboarclough today for a an afternoons birding.I started off at Bottoms reservoir and walked up to Teggs nose.A male and female mandarin were seen along with 9 of her brood
MANDARIN DUCK
After a good search around the usual areas for Pied flycatcher not one could be seen which is a worry has this has always been a good breeding ground for this species in Cheshire.
TEGGS NOSE COUNTRY PARK
Little else was seen in the area apart from a calling Redstart.Moving onto Wildboarclough I soon connected with the resident Dippers that had raised a young bird.
DIPPER
A nice afternoons birding but not great numbers of birds were seen,but the weather was beautiful.Long may it continue!
