15th December 2016

Weather: SE force 2/3
A Fieldfare was noted today and 2 Skylarks flew east, and from the spartina off the mainland (but in the Hilbre recording area) both a Common Snipe and a Jack Snipe was flushed. Excellent counts made today at the ebb tide included 630 Grey Plover moving north east, 158 Bar-tailed Godwits on the north shore and 250 more flying east, 4,500 Knot and 12,500 Dunlin. Three Little Egrets were on the shore.
