MORNINGS BIRDING ON THE WIRRAL

I spent this morning around the area of Thornton Hough on the Wirral and saw some decent birds. The stubble fields around the area held good numbers of Pink-footed geese and Red-legged partridge.


I managed to find the stubble field, thanks to  Dave Haigh for the Jen! where the Brambling(4) have been in a mixed finch flock.



Moving on from here, I called in at Hoylake and connected with the stunning male Snow bunting that is around the lifeboat station.




A quick dash after this to New Brighton, where 7 Purple sandpipers were showing well on the pontoon.

A good morning, birding and home before the hailstorm! #LOCALBIGYEAR
