Coming up consistently in the top 5 most likely next new Longdendale birds... maybe #vizmig in October.
Cattle Egrets. Bored of them yet? Relatively easy to see nowadays in South Lancs. #MartinMere, Burscough & Scarisbrick being favoured wintering haunts. I found the first ever in Lancs & counted the Lancs record of 39 in the autumn #Lancashirebirding

Interesting to hear several Firecrests calling at four relatively close together sites in the Manor Gardens, the Bartons, Hospital and St Gregory’s Church areas in Dawlish yesterday. Mostly in small patches of mixed shrubs/trees.
