HALEWOOD AND HOUGH GREEN WALK #LOCALBIGYEAR

I spent this morning walking around the fields between Halewood and Hough Green. A good number of farmland birds were seen, including 2 Corn Buntings,12 Grey Partridges, and 10+ Yellowhammers.



A good morning's birding, and great to see 2 Corn Buntings, which showed briefly on the wires and then in a hedgerow. Moving on from here and back over the Mersey, I managed to find the gulls feeding around Mollington near Chester; a 2nd winter Mediterranean Gull was soon picked up out of the Black-headed gulls.

Two more birds that I needed for my 15-mile radius on the list: Corn bunting and Mediterranean gull!#LOCALBIGYEAR
