DAYS BIRDING ON THE WIRRAL

I started off this morning at Denhall Quay and soon connected with a short-eared owl. They have been showing well over the last few weeks, with up to 7 birds out on the marsh.


A male Hen Harrier and a Marsh Harrier were also seen. Walking along to Neston Marsh, two water pipits were in the gully.


I then moved on to Burton Marsh and walked along to Burton Point, where the little owl was sitting out.


Burton RSPB was the next stop, where a ringtail Hen Harrier showed really well. Other birds of note were the pintail, golden plover, black-tailed godwit, and a water rail.
A good day birding and great to be out!  #LOCALBIGYEAR
