Sunday 2nd October (The Dee Estuary)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window into a few silver birch trees where a magpie sat. After a lazy morning reading the paper Mr. Kite went bird-watching along the wet lands of The Dee Estuary. With millions of birds on the water, in the air and in the fields Mr. Kite spotted a blue tit, starling, little egret, moorhen, collared dove, goldfinch, canada goose, and greylag goose.

A quick trip to West Kirby was followed by a rest followed by another spell of bird-watching at Heswall Fields just as the tide started to recede. The marsh was full of shelduck and geese and the shallows full of common redshank.

Mr. Kite returned when the rain started to have a tipple of Courage Best Bitter. Cheers.
