Weather; Blustery showers, wind S.W. force 6 to 8.
The strong winds and high tide resulted in some interesting sightings around the Wirral coast. A Snow Bunting was at Red Rocks and a Little Gull was dip feeding at Derby pools, Wallasey. 40 Pintail and 5 Wigeon flew west at Hoylake.
Other than the impressive ensemble of flooded out birds at Parkgate there was also a good variety of species at Neston Old Quay. These included a Hen Harrier, a Merlin, a Spotted Redshank, 2 Jack Snipe, around 200 Skylarks, 30 Rock Pipits, 3 Water Pipits, a Lapland Bunting (possibly 2) and 2 Twite.
