First Wheatear of the year for me at #BanksMarsh this morning - what a beauty #UKbirding

2 Russian Whitefront on #BanksMarsh in the murk - also 2 Spoonbill #UKbirding

Great to find my first Little Stints (2) and Curlew Sands (3) of the year in the Dunlin and Ring Plover on #BanksMarsh over the high tide #UKbirding

Smart ad American Golden Plover on #BanksMarsh this morning briefly - checked my pics, looked back up and couldn’t find it again despite another half hour looking. Hopefully it will come back. Also Cuckoo and Greenshank here #UKbirding

Lovely to find and watch this Todd’s Canada emerge from the mist with the Pinks this morning at #BanksMarsh - smallish bird, nice dark breast, really at home in the Pinks, constantly feeding - cracker #UKbitding

Singing Lesser Whitethroat, 4 Whimbrel and fly over Yellow Wagtail at Old Hollow #BanksMarsh - earlier ad Little Gull still and 3 ad Med at #Marshside #UKbirding

This Todd’s was on #BanksMarsh earlier, but disappeared shortly afterwards as I checked some more Pinks towards Crossens which was frustrating as it was reasonably close and images would have been better as the light improved. Also c45 Twite still #UKbirding

4 DB Brent the highlight of the tide at #Banksmarsh along with c15 Barnacle, a few thousand Pinks, 299 Grey Plover, 4000 Dunlin plus usuals #UKbirding

Pair DB Brent (very distant - pic!), Spot Red, Spoonbill, 12 Twite, 18 Barnacle, Goosander, 69 Grey Plover, 4K Pinks plus usual raptors etc at a baltic #BanksMarsh this am #ukbirding

Bobby dazzler shining through the murk at #BanksMarsh this afternoon. Shame about the limp🙁 Whatever its origin, they sure are a stunning looking goose. #RedBreastedGoose @DarbyBug @RSPB_Ribble
