The Wirral Area.
A few days away this week to The Wirral
peninsular, a place we have never visited before.
Very lucky with the warm sunny weather
and lucky to get a Caravan Site, not having booked anywhere and with
the main Caravan and Motorhome site having some problems and not
taking visitors.
We ended up on a pretty farm site. Arrow Park Farm, near
West Kirby.
West Kirby and New Brighton were seen
first off.
At West Kirby there was a yacht race in progress.
We watched it but were a bit bamboozled as to who was in front. The lack of wind, slowed the job down and the USA came 1st, 2nd and 3rd Boo-Hoo.
Monday 13th May 2019.
There are tons of waders here in winter
but not many at this time of the year.
We did managed to see a few birds, and
a birding tick, Whimbrel, although it was a break from birding rather than a birding break.
House Martin were busy nest building under the eaves of buildings along the New Brighton 'sea' front.
Others:-
Dunlin, Ringed Plover, Whimbrel,
Shelduck.
Lesser Black-backed Gull, Herring Gull.
Heron, Little Egret.
Terns were flying up and down the
Mersey but they were too distant to get any decent photos or to ID
them with any confidence.
A few Terns were calling loudly.
The artificial yachting lake nr. West Kirby
A distant tern along the Mersey.
Could be a Sandwich Tern.
