Last Saturday was pretty good as we had a sub-adult Pom Skua and a few Arctics along with the expected Terns, Manx Shearwaters and Gannets...... loads of Gannets!
Friday night saw us back on Hilbre for a late evening seawatch. No Skua's this time but fantastic numbers of Gannets and Terns and over a 150 Manx Shearwaters logged.
Saturday saw me undertaking some gardening duties for my father in law but I managed a couple of hours ringing in the garden with the highlight being this cracking male Bullfinch - one of the pair to go wit hthe female ringed a couple of weeks ago. The first juvenile Chaffinches and Goldfinches have also made an appearance and at least one pair of Robins has succesfully raised a brood somewhere nearby. House Sparrows also seem to have been successful with a few obvious juveniles still with a yellow gape inhabiting the depths of our neightbours hawthorn tree.
