A home away from home. A few days Hilbre Bird Obs in mid summer for that seabird mega 😉 No Brown Boobies today but a nice post tide passage of Manxies. 48, the final total in a F7 SW. #Wirral

Today's Hilbre Bird Obs highlights included 3 Meds. An ad sum, 1st sum & this flyover 2nd summer. Plus the usual Richard Smith post breeding build up of Sandwich Terns. 85 peak count for me. These birds will reach their peak numbers late August before departing for Africa. 💥💥

A real surprise Hilbre Bird Obs today when this very juvenile Wheatear was trapped & ringed. I don’t recall seeing one this young on the island before #birdringing

A beautiful sunny day Hilbre Bird Obs today surrounded by the call of juv Sandwich Terns begging for food off parents. Lots of butterflies around and lots of Six-spot Burnett Moths nectaring on thistle flowers

2 juvenile Stonechats were a surprise Hilbre Bird Obs this morning in the Obs garden. The nearest they breed is Red Rocks nature reserve. After posing for photos they promptly disappeared
