It's that time of year again at Pennington Flash, for at least the past five years a pair of Egyptian geese have spent the summer on the flash. Last year they brought a juvenile with them, but today they arrived alone. Also today, 2 barnacle geese, 3 common terns, willow tit & garden warbler.
It's easy to dismiss the barnacle geese since they are clearly feral, but they are only the second record I have of the species at the flash, unlike Eccleston Mere where I saw them regularly and where they peaked at 65 birds on 29/09/2011.
Also today, my first red-eyed damselflies of the year on the canal above Lightshaw Flash.
