Hi all,

Having had great views of Kingfisher on Albert Dock today, I thought it would be interesting to ask if anyone else maintains a Liverpool city centre list? Over the last couple of years I've had the following from within sight of my work (Atlantic Pavilion, Albert Dock):

Magpie
Mute swan
Herring gull
Black-headed gull
Cormorant
Feral pigeon
Starling
Carrion crow
Mallard
Canada goose
Pied wagtail
Goldfinch
Kingfisher
Grey heron
Blackbird
Dunnock
Blue tit
Mistle thrush
Chiffchaff
Lesser black-backed gull
Wood pigeon
House martin
Robin
House sparrow
Sparrowhawk
Redshank
Wren
Linnet
Grey Wagtail
Peregrine
Moorhen
Swift

All with no effort or optics. Not a big list but enough to keep some interest going!

Cheers
Paul

That's an impressive city centre list.
Have you seen the Liver bird?There'll be a few ex Jail birds knocking around the city centre from memory.

Hi I live close to Otterspool and the list which visit my garden is:-
Blackbird
Great Tit
Blue Tit
Coal Tit
Woodpigeon
Collared Dove
Nuthatch
Chaffinch
Goldfinch
Greenfinch
Robin
Dunnock
Magpie
Jay
Ringneck Parakeet
heard a woodpecker drumming but not seen it
heard a Tawny owl but not seen it.
 
All I can add to the lists in this thread is a goosander that was in Princes Dock a few winters back, a tired looking grey partridge by the site of the cruise liner terminal, and turnstone and oystercatcher at low tide (before they built the terminal).
