@RSPB_BurtonMere @RSPBChester @RSPBEngland @RSPB_Wirral @wirralbirdclub @Visit_Wirral @VisitCheshire @ourdeeestuary @CAWOSBirding @CHESHIREBIRDING @NESTONCYC My brother and I had a wonderful day last Saturday but unfortunately I think I left my green Bob hat in one of the hides. Could you let me know if some kind soul has handed it in please?

@pacunliffe Happy New year Phil. No idea what my year list was but my brother and I got 115 in our local Wybunbury patch. 114 the previous year

[Andrew Warner @andy_warner2000]

@MarburyBirds Very nice selection of birds. Merry Christmas

[Andrew Warner @andy_warner2000]

@pacunliffe @dot_pj Good call. Few good birds there yesterday

[Andrew Warner @andy_warner2000]

@pacunliffe @dot_pj That ties in with a friend who went through recently who said he hardly saw anything. Enjoy the rest of your stay Phil

[Andrew Warner @andy_warner2000]

@AndyJbirder @KevinLivesey1 Two great birds. We saw the 4 snow buntings in the Orme recently. Always a treat

[Andrew Warner @andy_warner2000]

@MarburyBirds I think that sums it up what a lot of us feel about going birding - “walking quietly in the countryside”

[Andrew Warner @andy_warner2000]

@pacunliffe @AngBirdNews I’ve seen this kind of thing before but inland at our local pool. We had hundreds of fry all crammed into a corner of the pool. We asked fishermen but they couldn’t explain it. I’m sure somebody could?

@sophiedorman33 @AngBirdNews Hi Sophie
Park up in the normal reserve spot and walk about half way along the path towards the bridge. Not sure exactly where they are roosting but keep the A55 to your back and you’ll see them. I saw them 4.30 onwards 😀

Dulas Estuary was a lot quieter last night possibly due to a family of 4 plus 9 dogs alongside the flow of water. Only two birds to add from my last visit were 2 C snipe and a Golden Plover @AngBirdNews

[Andrew Warner @andy_warner2000]

Plus - whilst at Dulas I’d put my Collins on the roof. You know what comes next … drove off like a daft egg. It was my car copy but still. Ah well @AngBirdNews
