My first visit since 2010 when I saw the Shorelark. What a transformation. Great pathways
throughout the country park. I didn't get all the way round due to lack of time.
There must be at least 3 miles of pathway I didn't get down to the pool near
the railway but still saw some interesting birds. As follows
Pied wagtail x3
Wood Pigeon x6
Blue tit x3
House Sparrow x12 Tree Sparrow x2 in the hedge at the back of the
farm near the Manchester Rd entrance
Magpie x 4
Linnet x 12
Reed Bunting x 10
Skylark x10
Goosander x1 Pochard x6 all on the marshy pool behind the large warehouses.
Meadow Pipit x 2
Blackbird x 3
Carrion Crow x 4
Black Headed Gull x lots
Herring Gull x 3

Very early this morning,

First visit very quick visit mind as I was at the gym this morning.

Quite a few firsts this summer for me!

1 Wheatear
2 House Martin
1 Common Sandpiper
1 Swift

Great site, hopefully be able to come properly soon.
Been wanting to come for the last few months but not done no birding with work being so busy!
