Weather:
Easterly -2/3, slight haze, cool, warming later
Visible
migration continued today with at least 150 Meadow Pipit in off the sea, moving
south inland as did a single flock of 35 Skylark. Grey Wagtail (2), Pied Wagtail (4) and Reed
Bunting (4) were all seen to come ‘in off’ and move South. Also recorded were;
Swallow (3), Blackcap (2), Chiffchaff (2), and a Spotted Flycatcher spent all
afternoon catching flies from the Elder west of Lingham Bridge. A single
Wheatear was in the Horse Paddocks and was probably one of two remaining from
yesterday.
The resident Greenshank was at the 'head of the flood' at Dovepoint Road, Meols this evening.
A skein of 120+ Pink footed Geese came in during the afternoon and continued overhead south, giving their constant contact call as they went – A fantastic sight.
