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

The adult Yellow-legged Gull showed well but briefly yesterday at Preston Dock, pictured with a Herring Gull which it appeared to be paired up with, YLG is a surprisingly scarce bird here on the Fylde Coast #LancsBirding
Part of the flock of 507 Russian White-fronts off Bradshaw Lane, Pilling this afternoon found by Bob Danson, over ten times the previous Fylde record count before this weekend #LancsBirding
