Saturday aftenoon highlights from RSPB Saltholme.
The biggest attraction was probably the white-fronted goose (too distant for me to confirm whether Greenland or European; others may have done better), giving distant views from Saltholme Hide and the corner before, on and off through the afternoon.
Other than that, tehere were plenty of other waterfowl around, with at least 3 groups of barnacle geese, pintail from both Saltholme and Paddy's, and plenty of the usual suspects.
It was a good day for raptors. At one stage, we simultaneously had a feeding peregrine, merlin on its favourite post and hovering kestrel from Saltholme Hide, and I also saw a sparrowhawk from the Phil Stead hide and a marsh harrier over Top Tank at closing time.
Waders included about a dozen snipe from Phil Stead, the odd redshank here and there, plus healthy numbers of curlew, golden plover and lapwing.
Little egrets were visible from Phil Stead and Saltholme Hides, and there were at least 4 little grebes on Saltholme Pools.
Thanks to everyone who helped find things today.
