21st October 2008

A difficult time for observers this morning with gales and squalls to contend with, and 3 Blackbirds, 2 Song Thrushes, several Robins and a Dunnock also giving a wintery feel to the day. Still 2 Goldcrests in what has been a good autumn for this species on Hilbre.
The Brent have not increased beyond 45, and today were wisely trying to find shelter close to the rocks at the north east corner (below).

Plenty of waders around but only a Guillemot, a Razorbill and a few Great Crested Grebes and Common Scoters on the sea.






Just a single Goldfinch ringed today (left).
