In a two hour circuit of the patch I couldn't add a single species to the list.
Over at Marbury/Budworth Mere there has been a regular Little Egret at Kid Brook and a Goosander on the mere this morning. Both would be good birds for The Flashes so there's some hope there at least.
No sign of the reported Yellowhammers in the seed field between Neumann's and Dairy House Meadows, an almost mega record for The Flashes if one did find it's way over somehow.
Late afternoon did save the day as a flyover Pied Wagtail was a new bird for the year.
I checked the feeders by Bund Hide and something (probably a mammal of sorts) has eaten all the seed on the ground, no birds though as yet!
If anyone's got a spare bag off niger seed then I could put up another feeder in the hope of attracting the few Lesser Redpolls we have.
On the plus side the Tufted flock has increased and with a Lesser Scaup just down the road in Staffordshire you just never know? maybe the Pugney's Smew might do a tour, now that would bring the crowds in what?
