Weather: WSW force 4, light drizzle at first
Occasional showers early in the day produced rainbows.
Once again a Goldcrest was in the SK paddock, possibly the same bird as recently, there were no other small migrants, although a flock of 8 Skylarks flew east. Bird of the day was a Golden Plover that was calling and took some time to locate on rocks below the obs as the camouflage made it quite difficult.
Just one Grey Heron this morning but another day with a large group of Little Egrets, there were 16 feeding in the gutters and amongst them was colour ringed 'TA' that has been here before.
There were 50 Brents seen, our Eiders featured 2 males and 4 females.
A male Red-breasted Merganser flew passed the north end, a bird much scarcer than it used to be and now Goosander is the main sawbill in the area at this time of year, especially in the West Kirby marine lake (below, today).
