Lowton Bird Observatory, Day 5
An early morning goldcrest and a few flyover lesser black backed gulls got the day off to a good start. Still waiting for an osprey! Perhaps today....
Quite a few gulls late afternoon heading for Pennington Flash from the south in ones and twos, probably totaling 50 lesser black backs, 20 herring and 100 black-headed. Highlights were two fly over lapwing, cormorant and a chaffinch. Regulars include 30 goldfinches, two goldcrests, 30 jackdaws 10 greenfinches and single buzzards and sparrowhawks. Not a great return for several hours birding but hopefully things will improve if the weather changes a bit.
