I'm convinced I saw (and heard) a Marsh Tit in Dibbinsdale (Bromborough) today. However to the best of my knowledge they're not supposed to breed on the Wirral any more. Was I seeing things or are they actually here? The habitat is dead on.

Its a description bird away from proven breeding grounds but its not impossible

Hi, I'm staying in Warrington from today until next Friday and would appreciate any tips and info on good birding spots in the area
I'm especially interested in Dippers, Redstarts, Nuthatch, Pied Fly, Raven, Merganser and any other birds which I don't normally see in Suffolk where I live
many thanks for any help

Hi Tony
Look at this website for some local sightings. Not too far to any of the Wirral coastal sites from Warrington. The website also has a site guide.

Thanks Dave will check it out

Great day along Dee estuary side of the Wirral today. Had amazing views of a stunning male Hen Harrier from Denhall Quay which was accompanied by a ringtail Hen Harrier, 3 Short-eared Owls, 5+ Marsh Harriers, Peregrine and at least 5 White Egrets.
