Great Hanging Bridge / Croston sewage works

Post by Paul Hodson »

It was pretty grim on the Finney this morning so I ended up just having a wander along the Douglas from Great Hanging Bridge towards Eyes Lane before I gave up.
Sightings were several hundred Woodpigeon, small skein of Pink Footed Geese overhead. Linnet c200. Reed Bunting 2. Chaffinch. Buzzard. Kestrel. Mallard c50. Teal 5. Goosander 2. Solitary Whooper Swan.
Several Molehills on the banks of the Douglas, including one that was being formed as I watched, I hung around for a while but the mole didn't show itself

Croston sewage works. Green Sandpiper 2 on the fields between the lake and sewage works. Pied Wagtail 6. Small party of Meadow Pipit. Fieldfare c40. Redwing 3. Goldcrest. Solitary Lapwing overhead.

Teal and Green Sandpiper take my score to 78
