7th March 2013

One of the male Stonechats was still on the island, February and early March is a good time for them to occur at Hilbre. A drake Goosander was seen, a scarce bird in the estuary. Little migration despite the fog and drizzle and a light south easterly, although a very small number of Meadow Pipits passed through. also on the log were a single dark-bellied Brent and a Little Egret.
