An interesting feral Barnacle sighting today, showing not all local birds in summer are from Blackpool Zoo. Thanks to Kane Brides for pointing me in the right direction.

My final article on what wildlife to see in the month ahead around Blackpool.

Auks off Blackpool are usually miles off and flying so not sure I've ever had photographs of Razorbills before.

To recycle an old status just the two White Stork on the Standing Tarn WeBS count. Here they are sheepishly heading back to the zoo.

Stanley Park WeBS before more exotic birding - first Common Scoter for me there and 4 Common Sands in deepest Blackpool.

I lack both the gear and the patience for this type of photography, but here are some of a Redshank in the moon's reflection on the Wyre Estuary this evening.

I associate Whooper passage locally with calm days but plenty taking advantage of a tailwind on Walney today.

16 Little Gulls here this afternoon

Gannet from today's Marinelidlfe ferry survey

8 Little Gulls and 2 Puffins here from ferry survey.

Calm early March day means Whoopers migrating off Blackpool. 32 today.

The pair of Lesser Scaup on a rather wet Herons Reach Golf Course in Blackpool this afternoon.

First ever visit to Hesketh Out Marsh RSPB before the LCFS AGM. Spotshank and Twite the best.

Having never read a Common Gull ring anywhere in my life, and not for want of trying, I've had two Norwegian birds in two days as Skippool.

Fans of veteran Med Gull R14T may be interested to know it was also there today.

Valentines gull ring reading in Chester. To be fair Jane picked out the Norwegian one.

Highlight of today's pre -football seawatch from Walney was a northbound Great Northern Diver.
