Birds, walking and nature observations from North Wirral.

Caught in the act - a holly blue egg laying on ivy. Out of such tiny moments our only world is built.

@hedgeland1980 @bheadparkrun Fabulous. Well done.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

@Wirral_Birder @vikingoptical @CHESHIREBIRDING @cianbirder @luke19anderson @AllanConlin @birdbrainuk @birderlouis @RSPBLiverpool @wirralbirdclub They were happily feeding after the tide had dropped in the afternoon. Always nice to see - but especially 'on patch'.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

Snow bunting still showing ridiculously well Leasowe bay, by benches East of Leasowe castle.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

Yippee - firecrest at SH 553 801 #Anglesey. Bushes on Anglesey coast path East side of red wharf bay.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

Nothing's ever guaranteed with birds, but this kingfisher @RSPB_BurtonMere is putting on a show to order at the moment. #wildlifespectacle

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

A winter spectacular @RSPB_BurtonMere . 7 marsh harriers enjoy the marsh over 1000's of p-f geese whilst a peregrine worries ducks and waders. Some of the teal aren't too bothered, though.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

@AlanDaviesbirds Glad you had a good time and good to meet up again. Nice to see #Wales making a strong contribution to your daylist!

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

Where's the pot of gold? Maybe it would be a good time to search the 100's of teal on bridge pool @RSPB_BurtonMere .

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

It might feel like winter, but avocets are still finding @RSPB_BurtonMere attractive. How long will they stay?

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

1/2 hour spent studying wildlife in its habitat is never wasted. No better way to escape the virtual reality of our artificial fiscal world.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

@RSPB_BurtonMere @RSPB_N_England @Natures_Voice @CHESHIREBIRDING @RSPB_Wirral @JFDIecologist @wirralbirdclub @AllanConlin @WirralNews Wow - can't wait to tick off beedibg wander's lol.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

A great day for whitey's @RSPB_BurtonMere - whooper swan, med gull and cattle egret.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

First Leach's just past Derby Pool #Wirral.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

@eddyedwards6859 Kesy for me. Tails too long for anything else, barred rusty back as well.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

Sounds like there's a strong passage of redwing going over Wallasey tonight. Let's see how good they are at disappearing in the morning.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

Always feels like autumn at old gunsite #wirral when p-f geese are calling overhead. Also vis #migration chaffinch, meadow pip and skylark.

[Thomas Giles @Thinkingbirder]

Old gunsite #Wallasey - 2 water rail calling, influx song thrush, goldcrest ++, siskin and redpoll over.
