And two patch ticks of two Dunlin and a beautiful Turnstone also present. The Ruddy Shelduck also added entertainment on the Mersey south of Moss Bank, Widnes. @birdguides.bsky.social #SankeyValley #PatchBirding

And a handheld phone shot for good measure and to provide some context. One of the best views of otters I've ever had and potentially my first dog otter. Amazing to have on the River Mersey and so close to home. #SankeyValley #PatchBirding
