MORNINGS BIRDING IN LANCASHIRE

I visited St Helens in Lancashire this morning and spotted a male Ring-necked Duck at Victoria Park.

Moving on,I stopped at Pennington Flash near Leigh, where I spent some time but eventually saw two Willow Tits from the Bunting Hide, along with a few other woodland species.

A nice morning's birding revealed a male Goldeneye close to the car just as I was leaving.
