Bearing in mind the marsh and the Mersey Valley is still attracting four birds (2 males, 2 females) of two species of harrier (Marsh & Hen) which have been present over the last few weeks, today saw a female Hen Harrier on the marsh.
The old Kamira woods attracted a Great Spotted Woodpecker, 5 Goldcrest and a small mixed Siskin/Redpoll flock.
