Following a totally depressing visit to Flamborough Head yesterday in soaking
drizzly mist and a slippery mud bath underfoot, when none of the birds I
hoped to see showed and bird of the day was yellowhammer, it was good to get
back to some proper birding at Pennington Flash today.
In glorious, sunny conditions I was delighted to see two cattle egrets on the
boat club shore. These might be getting a lot commoner elsewhere these days,
but they are still very much a Greater Manchester mega and this was only my
3rd sighting of the species at the flash and in the county.
Other birds seen today included three drake pochard, four female goldeneye, 70
snipe and at least two Egyptian geese still.
