GWE...BOOMMMMM!!!!

For once right place right time and my first scan with the bins over Ashton's Flash produces a rather stonking big white job...GREAT WHITE EGRET!!! wow what a MEGA!! patch birding at it's best.
What a great (excuse the pun) addition to the #PWC year list. 6 big fat points (3 for the bird and 3 for finding it) take that Brockholes!

Phone-scoped 'record' shots of Granville II my 2nd for the Marbury Patch area after the legendary Granville of  07/01/2002.

Next day and no big white jobbies but the first Whimbrel of the year found skulking in the undergrowth around Ashton's puddle. Also there 2 Redshank and a Snipe. Over on Neumann's the pair of Pintail were back. Things beginning to hot up and Ashton's Flash sure looking like THE place to be watching at the mo especially with the bloody maggot danglers who now seem to live on Kid Brook spit over on Budworth Mere flushing everything in sight. Roll on....
