Organised by the RSPB £3 for members, £5 for non-members. The walk took us to an area out that the public do not really get access to! Was a brilliant day, no new ticks but a good list! Birds of particualr interest to me are in bold!
Species seen:-
1. Eider (female),
2. Spotted Redshank,
3. Merlin - 3 birds seen most likely 2 individuals, one gave a spirited chase to a Skylark all the way from this side to the other side and we do not even know the outcome. The Skylark deserved freedom after all that.
4. Kestrel
5. Peregrine
6. Sparrowhawk
7. Short-eared Owl - 2 seen but might have been 1 bird, flew over our heads!
Not to forget I stopped at the Booth's supermarket in Hesketh Bank and treated myself to two slices of fruit toast, a slice of carrot cake and a mocha! :)
