Birding the mosslands
I spent a few hours on the South West Lancs mosslands today, and saw a decent selection of birds. At least 2 ringtail Hen Harriers, Barn Owl, Peregrine, around 6000 Pink-footed Geese, Corn Buntings, Reed Buntings and Red-legged Partridge were the highlights. Also at least 4 Brown Hares. Year 127
