The long staying male Scaup showed well @hilbrebirdobs.bsky.social yesterday. A massively declining species. Once common in Liverpool Bay it’s now a scarce visitor #cheshirebirding #ukbirding

Busy day @hilbrebirdobs.bsky.social repairing one of Heligoland traps ready for the main migration. Birding time limited but did manage Scaup off N end. Probably the long staying bird at WK Marine Lake #cheshirebirding #ukbirding

Good numbers of Starlings locally. They’re a scarce breeder in the village but every winter we get migrant flocks feeding in the pastures #cheshirebirding #ukbirding

Finally the pond opposite the house has filled with water after being dry for most of the year. It’s only since Christmas it’s held enough water to start attracting wildfowl including the 1st Shoveler of the year. Mallard & Gadwall also present & the Coots are back #ukbirding #cheshirebirding

Glazebury WWTW Culcheth, several chiffchaffs on the beds, inc. the bird in the photos which looks like tristis to me, though happy to hear opinions. There was definitely a tristis calling in the area but I just couldn't be sure that it was the bird in the photos #RareBirdsUK #CheshireBirding

Potential hybrid Cackling x Canada Goose with Greylags. Colours and proportions of a Ridgway's Cackler but a big bird with a slightly elongated bill. Formerly hung around with a Barnacle, but now with Greylags, rather than the Canadas in the same field
Finished off the wild goose chase with the local oddball, potentially a Cackling x Canada Goose that's been around a while, at Burleydam. 6.5 species of geese in north Shropshire/south Cheshire ain't bad #shropshirebirding #cheshirebirding

Volume up. Sitting in the house whilst it’s still pitch black outside & heard Little Owl calling from fields in front of us. Glad to know they’re still around but haven’t discovered where yet #ukbirding #cheshirebirding #littleowls

There have been few gulls around locally so far this year but local farmer started ploughing maize stubble y’day. Heavy rain here and looking out bedroom window saw a few gulls congregating on field behind house. Checked them out & found this winter plumaged Med Gull! #ukbirding #cheshirebirding
