Nice to hear we still have a few Yellow Wags in the county - there like gold dust at Elton these days when 10 years ago we used to get dozens cry.gif

8 Yellow Wagtails on Chat Moss today as follows:

2 on field 59 (where the Woosey/Hargreaves duo found them), the female of which was busy collecting nesting material and flying over the road into the oppsite field.

1 flew east over field 63. Also present in this field 2 Wheatear, afew Skylarks and Stock Doves and a Corn Bunting 'jangling' away beside the road there.

5 on field 20, including 2 cracking males. Also here a single Wheatear and several Skylarks.

Unfortunately all birds were flavissima hmm.gif If anyone hasn't got a clue about these field numbers, I've added the respective numbered maps to the 'county site guide' page on the website.

Also a single Spotted Flycatcher on fence wires near Allwood Farm along Moss Lane, a usual 'spot' (no pun intended biggrin.gif)
