February 2017 Summary

Hoylake, Parkgate, Neston and Burton : 28th February 2017
With a high tide of 9.8 metres at 12.15pm we thought it was a good day for the birding group to go to Hoylake. There was a bit of a surprise in store, though, when we woke up to heavy snow falling. We waited a bit though, to see if it would ease off, and eventually we decided to give it a go.

Connah’s Quay and Burton Mere Wetlands 25th February 2017
After a long spell out of action with flu, I was keen to get out and about again. We opted for the Dee estuary which never disappoints. Our main target for the day was Twite at Connah’s Quay. We are going to Hawaii for three weeks shortly and this could have been our last chace to see them this winter.

Chorlton Water Park and Kenworthy Woods : 3 February 2017
A break in the wet weather gave us a chance to get out to Chorlton Water Park and Kenworthy Woods. It has been a long time since we hace gone over there, preferring to go further afield for less common birds. It was well overdue for us to visit the water park so we drove out there and walked around for a couple of house. In the car park we got our first Ring-necked Parakeet of the year and on the water there was a good array of ducks and other birds.
