A flotilla of black-necked grebes graced the western end of the flash this morning. I saw them first from the boat club but they were a bit distant, so I continued on my walk to Mossley Hall farm where I saw them much closer. Seven is a decent number, I've certainly never seen so many on the flash before.
The flash seems to be a stop off point for black-necked grebe in the spring, before they complete their journey at Woolston eyes at Warrington, which is a major breeding site for them.
Also at the flash today the first wheatear of the year on the ruck. The flash doesn't do particularly well for this species, and most that we do get are later in the spring.
