Another good day's observations which included over 1,000 Sanderling (the highest count this winter) as well as 600 Knot and 2,000 Dunlin. The other highlight was a Short-eared Owl which flew from West Kirby saltmarsh out to the main island at dusk - perhaps they are roosting on the island? There have been at least 25 Short-eared Owls on the Dee marshes this winter so more records will surely follow as high tides or frost push them off the marshes.
