Saw 2 Little Ringed Plover and had a Raven fly over during a quick lunchtime visit to Bretherton Eyes. Then 6+ Yellow Wags seemingly not bothered by the rain at #HOM. Surprising how such brightly coloured birds can merge into the crops so well at times! Pics by Mark Nightingale. https://t.co/TCfvWYfu4X

HOM presumably out of area Hesketh Out Marsh but the LRP at Bretherton noteworthy.

Not sure if Gale Brook Plantation at Winter Hill is on "our" side of the fence but there was an @HawfinchesUK sighting of said species there on 19th Oct.
