Fleetwood Boating Lake

Thursday 18 Nov 2010 at 16.00

Great Northern Diver feeding.

Also Female Goldeneye on adjacent smaller pool.

Spent Sunday wandering round the Fylde area.

Nice views of the Ross's Gooose with approx 2500 Pink-feet.

Picked up a Purple Sandpiper with the Turnstones and Redshank on Fleetwood boating lake

Spent high tide watching the waders at Fluke Hall - Oystercatchers, Grey Plovers, Sanderling, Dunlin etc

Female Merlin showing very well at Pilling Lane Ends plus Whooper Swans, more Pink-feet, lots of Curlews and a Raven

Then went to Warton to watch the Glossy Ibis plus Whooper and Bewick's Swans

Finally to Lytham for Ring-necked Parakeet and thousands of Knot on the shore - didn't know about the Caspian Gull at the crem.

Beautiful day and cracking birding!
