Whoopers and Pinkfeet.

Post by John Edwards »

Tincklers fields Eccleston. More than 350 Pinkfeet flew over all heading East, best of all though were the 19 Whoopers ( see attachment) which flew over with them, I think the shooting on Croston Moss must have flushed them over. Also on Tincklers fields 3 Curlew. The Goldeneye was still on the river.
