i was tempted to head for Cemlyn Bay to see the tern colony, but overslept and decided to head for the North Wirral Coast instead.
I was surprised how busy it was even more so when on my way back, I failed to find a place to park next to West Kirby Marine Lake.
Birds seen or heard on my gentle three mile stroll included: Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Herring gull, Lesser black back gull, Sedge warbler, Common blackbird, Great cormorant, Greenfinch, Chiffchaff, Winter wren, Black billed magpie, Stonechat, Barn swallow, House martin, Goldfinch, Woodpigeon, Canada goose and Skylark.
I did see a Common buzzard, but that was from the car as I went past the Shocklagh crossroads.
