I started off this morning at Frodsham marshes and it didn't take long to find the Whooper swan herd,4 Bewick's swan (2 Juvenile's) were also in with them,a scarce bird now in Cheshire and Wirral.There were also good numbers of Pink footed geese in the next field.
Moving onto Lower Withington I connected with 2 Egyptian Geese as I turned the car into Lapwing lane
Acre nook sand quarry produced a Great White egret and a Black necked grebe.
10+tree sparrows were in the hawthorn bushes near Foden bank barn,another scarce bird in Cheshire and Wirral that seem to be doing well in this area.
Lapwing hall pool produced 2 Redhead Smew and good numbers of wildfowl.
Good numbers of Redpoll and Sisken were seen in the Alders around the pool
Moving on to Northwich I met up with Malc curtin and headed for Budworth mere.
We arrived just after 16.00pm and didn't have to wait long before the elusive Bittern put in an appearance.
Always the highlight of the new year list and the bird showed really well to the small crowd
Another great days birding and some quality birds! #LOCALBIGYEAR
