Skerries Day 5. I thought I'd blown it by not finding anything yesterday when the winds were in the south east. I hadn't. A bird dreams are made of.

@DarbyBug You never see Chiloe anymore. Is is definitely a hybrid not just a funky Mallard?

@realmonty64 @ParkyBirder @FyldeBirdClub You can put it on the Fylde Bird Club sightings page or someone else can if you give a rough grid reference Stephen.

@DarbyBug Does this help?

[Stephen Dunstan @StephenDunstan2]

@DarbyBug Grange-over-Sands. They've turned up at Hodbarrow before.

@JoanneHarry23 Hi Joanne it's the Barnacle x Emperor from when there were Emperor Geese free flying from Piel Island.

I was @FyldeBirdClub support to Wyre Walking Festival's dawn chorus stroll in Garstang this morning. Gropper and Tree Sparrows the highlights of 25 species.

@JoanneHarry23 Went round today, must have been over the road!

[Stephen Dunstan @StephenDunstan2]

@JoanneHarry23 Do you know if it can fly Joanne?

American Wigeon on the River Wyre today a very very pleasing find and start to 2025. Second pic by Paul Slade to show alongside an Eurasian.

@StephBirdArt Bingley from memory. Pacific Diver nearby. Saw the Robin.

Norwegian ringed Herring Gull at Roosebeck, Cumbria today. Does that make it argentatus?

[Stephen Dunstan @StephenDunstan2]

@GTAlstonWader I had one on Skerries in late October, felt the same. Another year I had a new in clearly starving juvenile Rosy Starling in early November that felt similarly unseasonable.

@TangerineRob @secondtierpod I was surprised to be reminded Nile Ranger had actually scored.

[Stephen Dunstan @StephenDunstan2]

@DavidBywater7 Never had Wood Warbler there or Shetland come to that.

[Stephen Dunstan @StephenDunstan2]

@DarbyBug Yes. I don't know if Kane has done any this year but they were beginning with H last I knew.
