A wild goose chase around #Wirral proved fruitful. 2 long staying Russian White fronts & a Gypo goose. Plus 2 early Little Gulls off the Wirral coast yesterday. #springaroundthecorner

A little round up of my 2024 Isle of Scilly 2024 Autumn. A great 3 weeks, great company and great birds. Considered a 'quiet' autumn but would take me a lifetime to see these on my native #Wirral #ukbirding. ❀️Scilly 🏝️

Keep an eye on the forecast Ian.. For a decent seawatch, ideally should be F6/7 or above NW for around 12hrs prior to your seawatch. Good luck πŸ‘
