Roll on the holidays

Male Yellow Wagtail, Frodsham Marsh

Am winding down before a holiday in Northumberland so busy getting work straight. Yesterday at HGF the Black-necked Grebes continued the in-out theme - one was back in the morning and gone again today. A pair of Yellow Wags were flying around yesterday - this evening two males were fighting. A Little Grebe was also on the pool today - the first since 28th November!

On the way home from working in N Wales a quick diversion to Leasowe gunsight and immediately had 2 Gannets, a close in Manx Shearwater, a Kittiwake and a Common Tern. Unfortunately it was several hours past high tide and nothing else appeared.
