just like to say that i've been to look at the flood water off the river dee on the road between rossett and holt.
I've driven past it a couple of times .... not taking much notice so i decided to take a look.... first look across the field.... was a nice surprise it had around 50-80 greylag geese grazing ...as i wandered down the public footpath that runs close buy i noticed a few swans. and other birds and a lot at that. once i'd got into binocular range i could see they were lapwings.. and omg there must have been 500+ maybe more never seen so many at one time... all on the land bars above the water level. also a few gulls and duck.... anongst them I'm 99% sure there were a pair of pintails a first for me again.
there was another unidentified bird which looked like a goosander I'm not to sure you'd get one in a location like this ????
I'm going again tomorrow to take a closer look.. Hope this has been some help to someone looking to go and twitch this week/weekend
regards Bazza
