Tickets please! Tomorrow's your last chance to set sail into Liverpool Bay on the RSPB/Mersey Ferries birding "cruise" this year.
Oddly enough, the wet and windy stuff today suggests tomorrow might well be worth a dabble _ Sept 15 is wet with a northerly, so it is just possible a few Leach's or something else might be mooching around the bay.
It's an experience anyway _ and if you don't go out, you don't see 'owt (for ticket details etc etc, check out earlier blog entries on August 11th and September 2nd.
Just watch out for RSPB staff in giant puffin suits (or was that just in one of my worst birding nightmares?).
Meanwhile pink feet are pouring in from Iceland now, while there's been a few impressive southerly movements of swallows, especially on the Wirral.
The juv white winged black tern still lingers at Crosby Marina/Seaforth (am I allowed to say the "S" word???), so I'll have to get round to having a look, especially given the quality of some of the shots of it online (www.surfbirds.com).
Plenty of buzzards, both local breeders and passage birds are still about at the moment (I saw one over Thornton yesterday), and the pec sand at Martin Mere was apparently joined by a second individual yesterday _ it is the commonest yankee wader after all....why couldn't it be a least????
