I parked up this morning at Burton Marsh and walked towards Burton Point to try and see the little owl, which had shown well all week. The walk was very quiet, with a skein of Canada geese flying over,Reed bunting, juvenile Stonechat, and a few juvenile Starlings.
On arrival at the sandstone rocks under Burton Point, the little owl was sitting in the sun, showing really well.
On the way back, an adult Marsh Harrier flew north over the marsh towards Nets cafe, and a low-flying Airbus Beluga put practically everything up on the marsh.
Moving on to Parkgate, there were a good selection of Waders in front of the strand. I connected with 4 Eurasian Spoonbills, Spotted Redshank, 5 Ruff, 14 Greenshank, 20+ Black-tailed Godwit, and a Common Sandpiper.
Eurasian Spoonbill, five have been on the marsh recently
A good few hours out birding and some quality birds.
