Crossbills 2.10.11

Post by Neil Southworth »

Ricky Hoyle heard a small party of Crossbills flying over Market Walk today.

On Thursday (29/9) he had Golden Plover, 2 Wheatear and Raven on the Chorley side of Winter Hill.

Gary, the total number of species seen in the Chorley area in any given year, including escapes, is usually between 150 and 155. A lot of these will be single records, so if you're getting around 120 in a year you're doing pretty well. Maybe we should have a competiton next year. :D
