Tuesday 16th April a.m.
A cloudy morning but I decided to have a run out to Leighton Moss an RSPB Reserve on the edge of Morcambe Bay where the temperature was 9°C on arrival.There were c 500
Black-tailed Godwits, c250
Redshank and I Counted 42
Avocets.A
Great White Egret flew past with others here being
Teal, Shelduck, Shoveler, Gadwall, Oystercatcher ,Wigeon and c350
BH Gulls.
There was a group of Wigeon in the distance which had a different looking bird which was a possible American but a Chiloe or hybrid were also possibilities.
On the otherside of the reserve
Marsh Harrier, Great Black-backed Gull, Snipe, Pochard, Little Grebe, Blackcap,Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Nuthatch and
Treecreeper were seen.
