Forgot how cold it can get sitting on a dune towards the end of October, but tried a quick lunchtime seawatch off Ainsdale today anyway.
Uneventful - 1 Red Throated Diver, 2 RB Mergs, 1 Guillemot, 8 Scaup, 29 Common Scoter, plus the usual gulls and Cormorants.
Maybe better tomorrow, then again, it may not.
Big wader/Cormorant/gull roosts visible to the north on the Green Beach.

YBW calling intermittently in first wood along path between Dangerous Corner (Appley Bridge) and High Moor yesterday afternoon. Bird high in canopy.
What's a YBW?

Hi everyone does anybody know if Sefton Park has Water Voles?
Nuthatch on our bird feeder this morning which was a first in our garden in Formby. Shortly afterwards a Jay and a Red Squirrel were on the lawn at the same time. Lunchtime on Cleeve Hill 40+ Yellowhammer in the hedges to the right of the lay by.
Hi Paul,
Never seen Water Voles there but the place is over run with Brown Rats {Rattus Norvegicus} out numbering the Grey Squirrels even.The closest to there where I have seen Water Voles is on the brooks and numerous drains round Halewood Village and Hale.
Tony.
Thanks very much for the answer Tony it was a question from a friend of the wife who wasn't sure wether they were rats or not .
Does anybody know if there still any Stock Doves in Sefton Park?
Regular pair of nuthatch visit our birdfeeder in Formby and have been doing so for around a year.
