Pennington Flash

Black-tailed godwit 1 on the spit scrape.
Common sandpiper 1 spit
Common tern 4
Swallow 3
Swift 50
Sedge warbler 2 singing
Rook 1 over Mossley Hall Farm
Greylag 3
Redshank 2
Mistle thrush 4 Ruck, golf course and near Bunting hide.
Kingfisher 1 Ramsdales
Shelduck 1
Garden warbler 2 singing behind Lapwing hide
Grey wagtail 1 near Horrock's hide

Amazingly rook is a new species for me at the Flash. Who would have thought that it would take me 40 years and I would see 173 species before rook at the Flash? Either I must have just not bothered recording them or perhaps I didn't look properly at medium sized black birds flying over and dismissed them as crows. For a large part of that 40 years I wasn't interested in keeping a flash list so I guess that I probably just didn't bother.
