Not a birding day as such but given the fact it wasn't raining for once had a family trip to Mr Gormley's iron men at Crosby and then on to Hightown. It was extremely windy and the sea was very rough so didn't pick up much of interest at either place. However as the sun started to drop in the West big numbers, p...

Just found this link on a site used by hill walkers. As a hill walker myself i know the weather is just as important to them as it is to birders, and this site comes with good recommendations.

Did however see my first Swifts of the year as well as Wheatear and Little Egret around the pool where the Shrik...

So may I nominate Elton as top site, not in terms of no. of speci...
