Covid continue to be a problem and increasingly so as November went on. The birding group got together properly in November after testing the waters a bit in October. We had visits to Sandbach Flashes on 2nd<\/a> , which was very flooded and the Tree Sparrows wer absent for another year. Wigan Flashes on the 16th<\/a> was quiet but we got the first Goldeye of the year! – such strange times they are. We also went to RSPB Marshside on the 23rd<\/a> where we got a couple of good year ticks. We also had a very brief drop-in at WWT Martin Mere on the 23rd<\/a>. On the last day of the month the birding group went to Burton Mere Wetlands on the 30th<\/a> but we went alone to Neston Old Quay <\/a>after that where we got our forst views of Short-eared Owls in a couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is sad to say but Covid is overshadowing a lot of people and the reserves are very on and off with their hide openings and generally it has been a dispiriting time. There hasn’t even been much in our garden lately. Our second hedgehog of the year has gone into hibernation at last – it seemed as if it never would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stock Dove Sandbach Flashes 2nd<\/sup> November 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UK Species Year List to November 2021: 137Total UK Species in November 2021: 64New \u201cYear Ticks\u201d in November 2021: 7New \u201cLife Ticks\u201d in November 2021: 0<\/p>
