Leasowe Lighthouse. 6th March


Leasowe Lighthouse in all it's glory.


This Beautiful male Stonechat at Leasowe.


Boating lake at New Brighton,,,minus the Med-Gull!


A view of New Brighton Lighthouse.


On the way back I could not resist taking this picture of a horse.

Woke up to another beautiful day, so headed off towards Leasowe Lighthouse.
On our approach we saw at least 8 Stonechats (3 male and 5 female) flitting around the field, although there may have been more. What gorgeous, delicate little birds they are!
Also seen were 14 Curlew, a good many Oystercatchers, a good number of Redshank, a lone Buzzard, 18 Black-tailed Godwits and a Snipe flushed from the field.
We stayed till at least 1.p.m. As it was still sunny we headed towards New Brighton to see if we could get a view of the Med-Gull, but no such luck! We had a really good walk round as it was like a spring day and quite mild. What an unexpectedly glorious day....
