The BNG did not show today but we had excellent views of several Bullfinches. Also had a Willow Tit on the feeder and plenty of Blackcaps. Great views of a Green Sandpiper and several Goosanders, not Mergansers as I first wrote, also helped to make the day special.

I decided to leave Pennington for Sale Waterpark -
two little grebes, five herons, a robin, and the usual array. It was heaving with the 'shirts-off' contingent, hence little if any other birders.

On the Manchester Birding Forum today, Sunday 10th April, >>Female Red-breasted Merganser present this morning.<<

Got the Grey Phal on the year list yesterday. Black-Necked Grebe also. Quite a few birders around.

I see from the RBA Map there's a Leach's Petrel at Penny. Nice one!

Missed The Leach's, it wasn't a long-stayer.

Goodies at the moment there include Little Gull and Greenshank.

They do still show up at Pennington on almost a yearly basis though they never hang around for too long. Keep an eye on the Manchester Birding forum for the most up to date sightings on there.

Houghton Green Flash might be a better bet.

Had an excellent day at Penny Flash today, nothing mega but lots of superb views of good birds. Plenty of Bullfinch, 2/3 Willow Tit, 3 Stock Dove and a superb male Brambling at the feeding station. Still plenty of displaying Goldeneye and Great Crested Grebe, 2 female Goosander, a couple of fly-over Raven, singing Blackcap, Willow Warbler and the now ubiquitous Chiffchaff. From midday Swallow, Sand and House Martin started moving through. I may have missed out on the superb day on the north Wirral but I really enjoyed today.
