Thanks to all for sending me a great selection of pictures recently - first of all here's some great shots of various raptors seen over the Lancashire mosslands this summer, Marsh Harrier, Hobby and Osprey to be precise.
The pictures were taken by Phil Boardman, and forwarded to me by Mr Bannon.
Just goes to show, it's worth keeping your eyes to the skies (....as long as you're not driving).
Excellent pictures Phil, thanks for sharing.
Next are some shots taken by Graham Moreton - firstly of a nice Grey Wagtail at Marshside last week, and also the Ruddy Shelduck currently roaming around with the Pink Feet - Graham caught up with it at Martin Mere at the weekend.
Looking good that Ruddy Shelduck - must catch up with it at some point.
No sign yet I understand of the Desert Wheatear today.
It was pretty clear last night so it may be well away, but who knows, it could still be lurking amongst the Iron Men or tideline debris somewhere along the Sefton coast.
Eyes to the skies everyone, eyes to the skies....
