Christmas Eve at the flash


A glorious day at the flash with some great birds. This morning the highlight was a woodcock flushed from a footpath on the south side behind Sorrowcow farm. Meanwhile 60 redwing were in the sheep field at Mossley Hall farm and three little egret in Ramsdales, with 30 goosander. 25 goldeneye were scattered across the flash.

Late afternoon the highlight of the gull roost was a cracking adult yellow-legged gull, whilst the Dutch ringed and apparently overwintering black-headed gull first seen on 8th November, was still on the car park.
 

In other news, an escaped immature Harris hawk has been seen several times over past week or so, favouring the Slag lane / Ramsdales area.
