Autumn was
very much in the air today. The season’s first roaming tit flock was found at Lingham Bridge . It included up to 30 birds made up of Blue,
Great and long tailed Tit.
Numbers
were up on yesterday with a reasonable fall of migrants considering the
unfavourable conditions. A couple of circuits of the Lighthouse produced good
numbers of warblers including 6 Blackcap, 1 Willow Warbler and 15 Chiffchaff. A number of Pied Wagtails were found in the
horse paddocks along with 4 Wheatear which totalled 11 by the end of the day. A Spotted Flycatcher dropped in at the westerly
kissing gate but quickly relocated to Sandy Lane where it settled and ‘flycatched’
along with 2 more Chiffchaff.

The Mediterranean Gull remains on the pontoon at West Kirby marine lake. The black in the primary tips suggesting this is a second summer bird moulting into a (third) adult winter.
