2-3 records a year! And regular sea-watchers can go years without seeing one!

Fantastic views of a flock of at least 120 Fieldfare [mixed in with Starlings] in the fields off Gorsey Lane near Burtonwood this lunchtime - sat in the car in a gateway and waited til they fed their way towards me down the edge of the field - views to around 30 ft when they weren't spooked by passing cars!
