We made the most of yet another dark, dismal and ultimately wet day. We started at Frodsham and managed to get straight onto the drake green-winged teal in amongst the hundreds of Eurasian teals. Then we went to Burton Mere Wetlands where we saw a decent selection of birds, including long-eared owl, green sandpiper and water rail. Not a bad day in the end, albeit another sunless day.
Spot the green-winged teal!
