A view that caught my eye at Thurstaston , near the visitors centre.This particular day we went to see if we could get some shots of the Twite, who seem to be very elusive at the moment, the weather not being particularly nice either. Although we never caught a glimpse of the Twite we were not disappointed. We managed to capture some Wigeon, Pintail, Curlew, Turnstone, Knot, Dunlin, 500+ Black-tailed Godwits and at least 3000 (give or take one or two) Oystercatchers
After a spot of lunch and hot coffee we went to Parkgate, it was about 3 p.m and the light was starting to go, but we were rewarded with 3 Hen-Harriers who came very close to the wall, and 3 Short-eared Owls, one of which posed on a pole for about 6 minutes. A lovely formation of rather noisy Pink-footed Geese flew past as well. As the light was begining to fade even further we saw a Barn Owl, and 5 Little Egrets. A really good day !!
