With the wife away for a few days, I managed to spend pretty much a full day birding at some of my favourite spots here in the North West.
Fist stop, Martin Mere, where amongst other things there were:
2 Avocets - highlight of my day, as they're birds I've never seen before.
Oystercatchers
Ringed Plovers
Lapwings
Black Tailed Godwits
Greylag Geese
Canada Geese
Pink Footed Geese
Whooper Swans
Cormorants
Redshank
More Robins than you could shake a stick at!
Then, off to Mere Sands where I saw:
Great Crested Grebe
Little Grebe
2 x Great Spotted Woodpecker
Last stop, RSPB Marshside, where there were:
More Avocets (at least a dozen, but there had been up to 2 dozen earlier in the day)
Golden Plover
Goldeneye
Black Tailed Godwit
All in all, the best day's birding I've had in ages. Roll on the next Bank Holiday!
