Black-winged Stilt Marshside RSPB Southport 23/04/2022

After seeing the Red-necked Grebe last Saturday at AMR a lifer for me, another lifer was reported

at Marshside Southport. A Black-winged Stilt had been reported and seen at Neils Hide I had to hope 

it would stay around till this Saturday, luckily it was still being reported seen Saturday morning. 

Got there early to Neils Hide to see the Black-winged Stilt was still a sleep but not for long it started 

to do a little preening then off it went walking around on them very long pink/red legs looking really 

elegant, lifer tick

male Ruff was displaying to two females 

Avocet no sign of nesting as yet

Called in at Hesketh Out Marsh 

The pools where full of Shelduck 

4 Black-tailed Godwit 

2 Ruff

Teal

Gadwell

Redshank

3 Cettis Warbler 

2 Whitethroat 

Tree Sparrows in and out of nest boxes 

1 Pill Woodlouse never seen one of these before (see photo)

all in all a really good day 

 

Cheers Craggy
