cracking county tick for me

3 hours spent walking round in circles y/day and no sign then

but not be suprised if its gone

2 Firecrests now confirmed at Wigan Flashes early this pm, please see the Wigan Flashes thread for full details.

No further details of the Hawfinch sighting though.

Momentarily thought about going for these birds, thankfuly I came to my senses. Instead borrowing my dads season ticket to watch something alot more certain than me actually being able find these birds, Bolton beating Middlesbrough.

Dipped Firecrest 3 times this year! Declan always likes to remind of the fall ot hem he had at Spurn once. Might find one wandering around my local patch within the next decade, no rush.

god damn that firecrest I bet it was laughing at us all yesterday

Pager Services report a HAWFINCH at Pickley Green, Westleigh, near Leigh, this morning at 08.36. (As yet, this is unconfirmed.)
