Skylark and Wheatear

 

 A quick visit to Hartshead Pike this morning singing Skylark, Linnets and Wheatear

Wagtails and Plovers

Some great local birds today at the rough ground at Kingsway Business Park Rochdale. Three Yellow Wagtails, several White and Pied Wagtail and a good selection of plovers. More Little Ringed Plover than Ringed Plover. Also present were Lapwing and many Meadow Pipits, Skylark, 2 Dunlin and a Redshank.
Back at home some Lesser Redpoll are enjoying the free seed as well as a Treecreeper who I have seen several times over the last weeks feeding on the ground

Snow Goose

Managed to connect with a Lesser Snow Goose blue morph feeding with Pink footed geese in fields at Eagland Hill Lancashire. Distant scope views though. We moved the car to another point but failed in the next 2 hours to relocate the bird among several hundred Pink foots. Also had excellent views of a Barn Owl hunting and saw large flocks of Skylark and some Yellowhammer.
