Summary : September 2014
Birding Days Out
Our birding month was late in starting but then got off to a cracking start with sightings of two UK life listers in Cattle Egret and Red-necked Phalarope.. Added to this were Curlew and Pectoral Sandpipers, Greenshank and Little Stints. All these from RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands
The visit to Burton Mere Wetlands was a last minute replacement for another plan we had but we took this up a couple of days later on the 11th when we took a walk along Heswall Shore at high tide. We sat at one of the benches that overlook the marsh and sea and watched huge flocks of Redshanks, Curlew and Shelduck shifting with the tide.
