The birding group day out this week was to Hilbre ISland but we weren’t in the mood for that so we decided that we would go up to the Wirral anyway but go to Burton Mere Wetlands, Denholm Old Quay and then on to Connah’s Quay. We had a pretty good day at Burton getting fifty-one species including a year tick – believe it or not – of a Common Kingfisher !! How could it be the end of October before I saw a KIngfisher this year ? Apart from that tere were good species around, pehaps especially in the field on the way to the barn at BMW.
