Well, this 15-mile radius does get you out! I started early this morning at Gresford Flash in Clwyd and connected with this smart juvenile Red-throated diver. Other birds of note were 8 Goosanders, and a Dipper was seen further down the road at Rossett.
Moving on back into Cheshire, I visited Moore Nature Reserve, where 2 Willow Tit were seen at the feeding station.
From here, I moved on to Hale, and thanks to Dave Craven-Hale's finest for the jen on the Firecrest, which didn't take long to relocate in Hale Park, this little gem was very vocal and a good addition to the list. A Water pipit was seen briefly at Carr Lane pools but was very flighty.
Further down the road, I visited Pickering's Pasture. A Common sandpiper showed well, and a Peregrine was sitting out on Runcorn bridge. No Gulls of interest were on Halebank, which was a disappointment
On the way home, I called in at Runcorn Town Hall and had 6 Ring-necked Parakeets coming in to the roost. #LOCALBIGYEAR
