LEASOWE.       WEDS    17TH APRIL.

              Can't make Sat trip to Leasowe with Chris on Sat so popped over this afternoon for a couple of hours.
              Loads of chiffchaffs and a few willow warblers in bushes as you approach the gate to the horse paddocks.

              At first sight fields very empty with just a small flock of linnets with a couple of meadow pipits among them.
             Then in middle field a wheatear showed well, and a stunning male redstart was on the posts alongside the path. At top end of field a male whinchat flitting around.


     
                Whinchat.......can you see him on barbed wire?.......... click on picture for better view.

                                         
                                            Heres a close up.
