A trip over to the Wirral, and Parkgate marsh for the first really high time of the late autumn, in hope of a raptor fest. Unfortunatly it didnt materialise. The lunchtime high tide was lacking any helping wind so the tide struggled to get in view. In actual fact the very strong heat haze made for very poor distant visibility. There were a few raptors on show, Perigrin falcon, Marsh Harrier, Hen Harrier (and alledgedly a Merlin) but all were very distant... closer to the Wales & Deeside edges of the marsh than the Wirral side. The numerous Little Egrets kept the dozen or so watchers entertained along with a single Whooper Swan.
Homeward bound and a quick trip to the local patch at Adlington got a couple of Buzzards, Kestrel and this Robin trying to break free....
