Birding Group Visit To Frodsham Marshes 30th October 2012
As soon as I got out of the car I had a quick look at the telegraph wires that run across the field to the left side of the parking place we use and they had scatterings of Starlings lined along them. Occasionally something would get them going and many more would rise up from the field that the posts edged. Then it became clear that there were several hundred of them roosting in the field. Obviously autumn was upon us. When we were last at Frodsham Marshes it was spring and the air was full of Skylarks. In October it is a little different and there are no Larks around at all. We had a very, very muddy walk along a ditch to the river and when we got there, unfortunately, the tide was high so our chances of seeing waders was small.
