A lovely feeling for observers to the almost airless start to the morning found Goldcrests calling in several places, about 16 thought to be on the islands, together with 3 Chiffchaffs and a passage of Robins, which happens quite often at Hilbre and at least 8 were new in this morning, also 6 Grey Wagtails calling as they went through. A single Whitethroat and the Whinchat (right, that has been here now for some days?), were also noted. A male Sparrowhawk flew around for a short time early in the day, and just before midday a noisy Magpie dropped into the pittosporum in the obs garden before soon leaving the island. |
