Any pics of the Canada - loads of ferals of various shades feeding in the Pinks in that area at the minute. Ta

Great to find this American Golden Plover at #HOMbirds this morning - think I’ve now found half the total Lancs records it’s, crazy! Flew off north after being flushed by Kestrel. #Lansbirding # UKbitding

The juv Monties showed really nicely in great light this morning at #Marshside #UKbirding - what a cracker

Spent an hour with a fantastic group of at least 15 Med Gulls at Howick Cross this morning. The largest group in #Lancsbirding away from the main breeding site I’ve seen. Mainly adults but also some 1st and 2nd summers plus at least 1 ringed bird - absolutely brilliant #UKbirding

An interesting small/medium dark winged, dark rumped wader briefly in flight at #HOMbirds this morning moving from east to west side, but I can’t find it in a search of the west pools - very frustrating!

Very jealous of my neighbours 2 spikes of Bee Orchid - my grass is just too shaded unfortunately #UKorchids

Some really enjoyable seawatching at Starr Gate #Fyldebirding this morning with great company. 7 Fulmar the highlights, which is a good count here, plus good numbers of Manx, Kittiwake and Gannet constantly flying through #UKbirding - some “atmospheric” record shots

And the Great Tits have fledged from the garden #LongtonBirds

Another Lesser Whitethroat rattling away in the back field this afternoon as I sat in the garden. At least 6 local #Longtonbitds records this year, one at Banks Marsh, and one on each of the golf courses at #Marshside mark another decent year for the species on my various local sites
