White Wagtail
Dave,
White Wagtail is the continental race of Pied Wagtail, which passes through Britain in spring on migration. We usually get one or two records per year, though it is probably greatly overlooked.
I think it is now regarded as a separate species, but you will find it in your field guide under Pied Wagtail.

Mossfield
Moss field is not the industrial area you can see on the google link. To find Mossfield you need to turn at the traffic lights on the A6 near the "Sea View" . Then as Tony says. Multipart should be on your left and Wolselys on your right. Just before Wolselys is a path that goes behind that building. Walk on that path to view the information board. Beyond Wolselys is the large area "awaiting developement" that the LRP was building a scrape without planning permission
Thanks Dave I'll have a look this afternoon
Cheers Neil I dont have a field guide can you recommend one please

I was there this morning at 0650 and the bird I saw quite close to the large advertising hoarding was a little ringed plover.
There's no fooling David, or Neil for that matter !

So it looks like both species were present. That's a relief!
Dave (Barker),
The best field guide, in my opinion, is Collins Bird Guide by Killian Mullarney, Lars Svensson, Dan Zetterstrom and Peter J. Grant. Other people might have different ideas, or might prefer DVD guides, but I still think it's a lot easier to pick up a book and flick through to the relevant bird.

Dave, the collins bird guide is widely regarded as being 1 of the best, it is black with a barn owl on the cover, & the drawings inside are very detailed, try www.wildsounds.com they sometimes have 2nd hand bargains that are as new.

LRP
Chris ! From my view one of the birds you snapped is an lrp the other is a ringed plover
little ringed plovers
At least 5 LRP at 7pm last night. They were very vocal and very active. 2 pairs chasing each other and a single bird contiually circling the area. One also chased a crow off as it flew over. I'm fairly sure there were more but I could only definitely identify 5 seperate birds.
No sign of the ringed plover.

Little Ringed Plover
Went to Buckshaw this morning in the sunshine. Pair LRP. Pair Lapwings. Several singing Skylarks. 1 singing Chiff Chaff. Lots of Carrion Crows.
