At Gayhurst Quarry this morning drake PINTAIL on motorway pit
BARNACLE GOOSE in greylag and Canada flock, LITTLE EGRET. MARSH TIT and TREECREEPER were good year-ticks.
Up at Quarryhall there were a very impressive 23 TREE SPARROWS. Also male COMMON STONECHAT several YELLOWHAMMERS, a BUZZARD and 20 EUROPEAN GOLDEN PLOVERS in the field by Quarryhall farm.
At Willen Lake, there was a LITTLE EGRET on the island though which could be of use for the bird racers.
