Had an explore of some fields near to home an area off mode hill lane near Jct 4 M66 & Jct 18 M60.
The area is mainly horse paddocks with some marshland and flashes, looks to have potential.
A chirpy group of 12 Skylark (signs that spring is on its way) was the highlight for me.
Pied wag 10 in the fields along with a few Redwing
On the flashes
Mallard 10
LBBG - Ad
It looks great for waders!!
Lots of big Gulls moving north about 50 Herring and smaller number of GBBG
