Weather: SW force 2
Excellent sightings of ducks this morning with 24 Pintail, 5 Teal and 22 Wigeon,
and an unusual fly-past of 5 Tufted Duck (a less than annual visitor to Hilbre) into the estuary.
A couple of Wheatear came through, the lowest number for a while and 2 Goldcrests were grounded and one was ringed.
A Chiffchaff and a Grey Wagtail were on the island at some stage. Many Ringed Plover were feeding between the islands.
A Marsh Harrier was seen heading into the Hilbre recording area from the north shore mid-morning (AMC) and 7 Brent Geese arrived in the evening (per Tim Kinch). Back on the mainland 4 Curlew Sandpipers were by the main lake south end mud (also in the recording area)
