Weather: SSW force 2
The most exciting development today was the spectacle of a pair of Eider off the north shore displaying and then mating. This is possibly the earliest attempt at breeding at Hilbre. They had been suspected of breeding here in 2019, and although not proven a duckling was later seen off Heswall.
Other duck news today was a count of 372 Brent, a single Wigeon and 70 Common Scoter. The Wigeon and 7 Lapwing were at the north end first thing, and a flock of 40 flew high over Middle after the tide.
Two 2 Raven were down by the pond and flew off south. Two 2 Rock Pipit were at the north end of Middle and 2 others on the main island.
