Not a birding day as such but given the fact it wasn't raining for once had a family trip to Mr Gormley's iron men at Crosby and then on to Hightown. It was extremely windy and the sea was very rough so didn't pick up much of interest at either place.
However as the sun started to drop in the West big numbers, possibly 3500, Pink footed Geese started to drop onto the Alt estuary a spectacular sight
