Offshore from Hoylake as of 12.00, 6 Common Scoter, 2 Red throated Diver and a single Gannet moved West.

2 Yellow legged Gull remain in the Hoylake high tide Gull roost.

A late (ish) Whinchat was on rough ground west of  the Leasowe Castle Hotel. This is a favoured site for this summer migrant and always a great place to look at this time of year.

Other birds on the move included Meadow Pipit, Skylark and Swallow. With a high pressure system moving in from the south over the next 24 hours we are hopeful of more autumn migrants this weekend. (AMC, KD)
