# LOCAL BIG YEAR

May was a quiet month for me doing the local big year, but I did manage to catch up with some key species throughout the month

May 10th

I visited Hale today and connected with a Hobby,5 Yellow wagtails and a Channel wagtail, which showed really well

This was my third attempt to see this Eurasian Spoonbill after it had given me the run around at Burton RSPB, and eventually I caught up with it on Parkgate Marsh this evening.

A quick dash to Burton RSPB and this little beauty was showing well in the car park.

Continuing up the North Wirral coast after this, I made high tide and saw good numbers of Sandwich Terns and Gannets.
