Astley Moss Winter Bird Count 3/3 for LWT

300 Redwing...most in song an absolute joy sharing this moment that was surely their celebratory/courage building cusp of returning to their distant Scandinavian forest homes...

90 Chaffinch....were these too Scandinavian birds ready to return home? 

1 Chiffchaff...in song

1 Willow Tit...in song

3 Song Thrush...2 in song

17 Robin in song

11 Wren in song

5 Reed Bunting in song

28 Teal

1 Yellowhammer in song

8 Meadow Pipit...5 in display flight

4 Stock Dove

1 Buzzard

1 Woodcock...the only Woodcock Nest I ever found was in this area back in the eighties sadly these birds no longer breed here ...thus I strongly suspect this bird is too a Scandinavian visitor soon to return home

6 Lapwing....5 in display

Little Woolden Moss LWTNR....Film Crew on site (West)...British Film Institute  funded positive film about peat...LWT Staff on site

Below in my opinion...

...all positives for me, for from the devastation of Peat Milling (sanctioned by the local council* at the time) the natural world phoenix like rises (thanks to the LWT) bringing back hope for nature because the area wasn't totally destroyed...

Footnote...

 

 *the same council which is  now supporting the concreting over of large areas of Barton Moss to build  Warehouses for a (in my opinion) 'so called port' sadly once this is passed there will be NO returning to nature once the, in my opinion, mistake of destroying green belt is realised by more enlightened generations to come which will hopefully recognise the real worth of Nature for our survival....how history teaches those who seemingly wish not to learn from it.......absolutely NOTHING...

Highlights from a stroll from the bottom of Astley Road to the bottom of Cutnook Lane, 1425 1720. Female kestrel by Roscoe Road. Two marsh harriers, a male and a bird in silhouette from Four Lanes End, also a male kestrel and eighteen pink-footed geese. A female merlin barrelled through the mixed flock of fieldfares, linnets, starlings and skylarks by Twelve Yards Road without catching anything, also two buzzards, a female marsh harrier and an immature kestrel.
