Hawfinch and more

Great day out in Cumbria and Lancashire. First stop Sizergh castle for Hawfinch





Next it was Leighton Moss where we had brief views of Bearded Tit on the path to the grit trays and excellent views of Marsh Tit on the feeders.






We then went onto Heysham where we had the best views of Twite I've had in 30 years mixed in with other finches








We also had nice views of a Mediterranean Gull



We finished off at Marshside Marsh RSPB and saw a Great White Egret and the Ross's Goose that's been around for over a week
