Eclectic mix from today's stroll around and . Overcast but pleasantly so. Expected to warm up later.

The echo on the trace is a couple of sparrowhawks having a "chat"

Plenty of mallards and moorhens, all shapes and sizes (well, sizes), on Roodee Mere this morning.

One curious omission from the list of bird calls in vicinity of Frankby/Thurstaston (and hence Royden) seems to be the green woodpecker or yaffle. Not calling greatly at the moment but its laughing call was much evident a few months ago and even has a special green woodpecker trail. I guess it's possible the app listing responds to seasons though such precision doesn't seem likely?

Took app for a stroll round and and it identified 20+ species, including goldcrest, woodpecker, coal tit, willow warbler, linnet and blackcap. Fascinating!

@aroundthehills highlight for me this week was most unexpected female mandarin duck with infant at . Think I'd seen mandarins there once before and just assumed they'd moved on.

Approaching peak rhodo at but sadly not many ducklings in evidence on the mere.

Are the new sea defences at finally finished? Thought they were due by Bank Holiday but could be wrong.
