Another lovely day on Hilbre today. It
was pleasantly warm with no wind. There is a theme of approaching spring
during the recent visits and this one was no different. There were lots
of Pink-footed Geese to start the day with 360 flying north and a large number of Brents (251) for the rest of the
time. There was a Rock Pipit, and lots of Wrens. Two Pied Wagtails and a Greenfinch turned up which is another sign of spring, and we had what might be called a small passage of Meadow Pipits, 5 at
least, (below) (JE) also 3 Skylarks, another sign of spring.
Seen on the sea were 65 Common Scoter and 6 Great Crested Grebes.
The Daffodils are much taller now and seem to be a day or so away from flowering (right,JE).
