It seems like ages ago that I spent a day on Hilbre over the high tide photographing the various waders that roosted around the island. In addition to the waders we had fantastic views of a juvenile Peregrine falcon.
Other birds included a few Wheatears and the long staying Eider.

| Ringed Plover, Oystercatcher, Dunlin & Sanderling |

| A single Knot with Dunlin |

| Loads of Ringed Plover! |
 |
| Juvenile Peregrine |
 |
| Oystercatchers |
 |
| Moulting male Eider |
 |
| Curlew |
 |
| Bar-tailed Godwit |
The really high tide meant birds were struggling to roost in the usual places so the west side of Hilbre was covered in birds.
