Stuart’s birding

Any pics of the Canada - loads of ferals of various shades feeding in the Pinks in that area at the minute. Ta

Will do Dave, but not there until at least Friday. I’ll message you if I find it. Cheers

Very nice Dave - presumably the HOM/Warton Bank bird

Sh!t view as you can see…..

Glossy Ibis just flown through #HOMbirds - site tick for me. On a roll…. #UKbirding

Cheers

Great to find this American Golden Plover at #HOMbirds this morning - think I’ve now found half the total Lancs records it’s, crazy! Flew off north after being flushed by Kestrel. #Lansbirding # UKbitding

The juv Monties showed really nicely in great light this morning at #Marshside #UKbirding - what a cracker

Got any more shots of it Colin?

2nd summers and an adult

1st summers

Spent an hour with a fantastic group of at least 15 Med Gulls at Howick Cross this morning. The largest group in #Lancsbirding away from the main breeding site I’ve seen. Mainly adults but also some 1st and 2nd summers plus at least 1 ringed bird - absolutely brilliant #UKbirding

Smart Channel Wagtail in the fields at #HOMbirds #UKbirding

Also 4 Barwit in a nice flock of Blackwit and a late Whooper plus usuals

Nice to find this Pec Sand at #HOMbirds this morning on the east side, 1st pool

An interesting small/medium dark winged, dark rumped wader briefly in flight at #HOMbirds this morning moving from east to west side, but I can’t find it in a search of the west pools - very frustrating!

Very jealous of my neighbours 2 spikes of Bee Orchid - my grass is just too shaded unfortunately #UKorchids

Some really enjoyable seawatching at Starr Gate #Fyldebirding this morning with great company. 7 Fulmar the highlights, which is a good count here, plus good numbers of Manx, Kittiwake and Gannet constantly flying through #UKbirding - some “atmospheric” record shots

Ha ha ha

Top gulling

And the Great Tits have fledged from the garden #LongtonBirds

Another Lesser Whitethroat rattling away in the back field this afternoon as I sat in the garden. At least 6 local #Longtonbitds records this year, one at Banks Marsh, and one on each of the golf courses at #Marshside mark another decent year for the species on my various local sites

Pair LRP with 3 chicks, Golden Plover, 6 pair Arctic, 2 pair Common Tern, 9 Yellow Wag (7m, 2f), 22 Dunlin, Snipe, Barn Owl, Sparrowhawk, pair Wigeon, Reed Warbler best of #HOMbirds #UKbirding

The drake Green-winged Teal still at #Marshside early am, but the golf course was very quiet and cold with frost on the ground in some exposed areas…. #UKbirding

I’ve already sent it to Steve White

If you really squint you can see what it is 😂

Shambolic effort of a record shot for a really decent #Marshside bird - Little Tern just flew over the reserve, across the road and then out south west onto salt marsh #UKbirding
