Merry Christmas One and All,
Inner Marsh Farm will do its best to stay open throughout the holiday period and should only be closed on Christmas Day itself. However, if the weather becomes much worse we may have to close due to unsafe car park and footpaths Phone ahead to hear the latest on 0151 336 7681 (be prepared to be patient and let whoever is on duty run up the stairs!)
For all you listers (or anybody who hasn't done a big year before) out there - IMF is doing a BIG YEARd uring its big year of transition! Those wanting to take part can pick up at IMF reception for the entry fee donation you will recieve a current checklist - all staff will be taking part too, can you beat them all?!?

No sign yesterday but brilliant views of both ring tail and grey male hen harrier hunting together and interacting. the male seemed to catch a prey item and leave it to the ringtail whilst he flew away taking the maurading crows with him!

You have my sympathy ... been twice now, even this morning with this beautiful light and most teal awake and swimming on no1 and no2 I still didn't find it!!!
500 or so pink-feet over this morning in small skeins

Paul the Green-winged Teal was showing really well on number 1 pool for about 15 minutes from 09.15 - just after I left you!!
Thanks Sid,
Got the bird eventually with majot thanks to Phil W - who was doing a good job of showing people birds!
Marsh Harrier also present with brambling, siskin, redpoll amongst other highlights

Saw the GWT today and it certainly was a very scraggy looking bird. As others have suggested it seems likely to be a 1st year bird.

Paul,
Any chance of a full species list for the year so far? I've had a few birds on my two visits so far this year and I suspect you may be able to add to the reserve total.
