local Stuff

Well just picking up a few year ticks today so nipped to Soddy gap, on the way spotted a Sparrowhawk then got Pochard, 130 Goosander, Teal, Wigeon, Mallard, Tufties, Coot, Moorhen and 3 Goldeneye. A Grey Heron a flock of Pinkfooted Geese and 2 Buzzards was it really here.
Moved onto Siddick ponds waited 10 min and managed a flyby Bittern, 24 Whooper Swans flew in whilst i was there.
Lastly finished at Workington harbour for 2 Purple Sandpipers, Rock Pipit and Stumpy the Med Gull.

Not in a good mood due to the crappy weather again so i was home by 2pm.

And a few Pinks from Blackdyke the other day.
