Having been left in charge of my youngest for the weekend it was time get some birding done optics ready and all terrain pushchair ready. First call was a regular check of Rudyard not to bad either with Greenshank, Green Sandpiper & Redshank there when I arrived. Westport Lake was the next port of call bad time really folk everywhere. Willow Tit Dabchick & 3 Shoveler probably best of the birds there. Got a call from a few lads at Blithers so shot over there to the causway as 3 Little Gulls were close to the car park. Arctic tern were seen from the causeway as was Little Egret and Common Sandpiper. I decided finish off at Doxy marshes very quiet indeed although the scoter was still on Boundary flash and Kingfisher did a flyby in front of the hide. Its where to go tomorrow now I may go local then onto Frodsham or head east Staffs
