Glad to have been of assistance John - did you listen out for the Lesser Pecker by any chance?



I parked outside the park and walked in, but I didn't hear an LSP.

Thought I heard one at Woolston Eyes last week though.

Saw two late on. Thanks for the heads up. Also the ducks that have no name.

Two redhead Smew at the Knutsford entrance end of Tatton mere this morning. First seen at 08.15 still present at 11.30 amongst a flock of Canadas. Much easier to see here than at Rostherne biggrin.gif

P.S. - Should also have mentioned reasonably confident that I heard a lesser pecker drumming briefly in the wood next to the car park at Knutsford entrance when I first arrived - to be investigated further wink.gif

Large Falcon Present this morning 8.15am, looks like a Peregrine x Saker or Gyr. Vertical chest bars. Got a couple of long shots. No jesses visable on bird. Attacked a passing Grey Heron at one point. Looked larger than Peregrine.

Anyone else seen hybrid type bird in the area, or is missing one.


Just put pic on Birdguides.
(unidentified)
