I was thinking of having a look at the American Wigeon again this morning. However the grim, grey conditions with constant drizzle and the news that the Baldpate had defected north of the Ribble, kept me from the riverbank and I joined Graham Clarkson for a look at Hesketh Out Marsh instead.
The weather didn't help with poor visibility but we did OK with 4 adult Bewick's Swans with 83 Whoopers in the fields, 6 Gadwall on the lagoon, 2 Little Egrets, 6 Grey Partridge, Sparrowhawk and several Dunlin and a Golden Plover with a Lapwing flock over the reserve. At least 12 Tree Sparrows were in the hedge near Dib Lodge on the approach road to the reserve and 150 Linnets were flitting around the reserve in a couple of flocks but no sign of any Twite unfortunately.
