On a sunny but cold day Josh and I headed off to Burton Mere RSPB where we found a small flock of Siskin feeding in the Alder trees. At the Border hide there was a distant Ruff feeding with the Teal and a couple of Redshank. Pink-footed Geese flew overhead and back at the Visitor Centre there was a Nuthatch feeding. At Neston Marsh there must have been >30 birdwatchers hoping to get good views of the Short-eared Owls but on this occasion the two that we saw stayed far out on the marshes.
