Steve Flynn Decent bit of local migration this morning with maybe my last Wheatear of summer on Mellor Moor followed by the first Whoopers of winter on Parsonage Res. Also 45 Pink-feet east, 19 Meadow Pipit, 11 Skylark and a few (mainly gold) finches all south or west over Mellor Moor. #vismig #lancsbirding

@s4r4h-l #JoinMeOnMyWalk from yesterday and a visit to #LeightonMoss , in the hopes of seeing bearded tits, sadly none spotted but a lovely visit all the same with lots of #bird life to admire, and the song was lovely, so many voices!

Simon West A stop off on my way to the Lake District at Belmont Reservoir (Lancashire) for the juvenile male Pallid Harrier. Turned up just after it reappeared, though a bit distant #BOCshot #LancsBirding #ukrarity #ukrarebird @ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social @btoengland.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social

@rayb126.bsky.social Finally, one of my most wanted garden moths put in an appearance last night 4/10/26, and only the 2nd record for St Helens, a smart looking Merveille du Jour, well pleased. #Teammoth #StHelensBirding

Paul Slade Two of at least 31 Yellow Wagtail's at Bank End Cockerham this morning (up to 40 seen in recent days)they must have had a good breeding season as not been these sort of numbers locally since the mid 1980's ! #LancsBirding
Paul Slade Interesting juvenile gull at Skippool Creek last night, Caspian or hybrid presumably, poor digiscoped photo unfortunately #LancsBirding
