Prescot reservoirs
Chats and thrushes abound!!The female ring ouzel was still present for its second day briefly this morning but was pretty elusive preferring the ruff edges of the compound and covered res. Wheatear corner was very busy this morning with the male redstart, male stonechat, 3 male wheatears and 6 meadow pipits on show. 5 sand martins and 5 local barnacle geese passed overhead whilst watching these chats. A willow warber was singing in the ranch. A tawny owl called from the plantation late morning.
