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

Morning walk in the woods. Cormorant on the mere! #Royden #Wirral #CrapNaturePhotography

One curious omission from the list of #MerlinApp 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 #Royden 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?
Heron's on the other hand are good at posing #Royden #Wirral #CrapNaturePhotography

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

Tiny amphibian wotsit making its way across a path at #Royden this evening. #Wirral #dontStepOnMe
The Hillbark Players' production of Julius Caesar starts tomorrow at #Royden #Wirral. The video clip harks back to 1979 when the group was revived. At the time its President was #GlendaJackson #RIP

The model railway at #Royden as it was in 1979. Has given tremendous pleasure to many generations of kids since then. https://discover.bbcrewind.co.uk/asset/61d8675b81037f0022f612ac
@aroundthehills highlight for me this week was most unexpected female mandarin duck with infant at #royden. Think I'd seen mandarins there once before and just assumed they'd moved on.
Approaching peak rhodo at #royden but sadly not many ducklings in evidence on the mere.
Are the new sea defences at #WestKirby finally finished? Thought they were due by Bank Holiday but could be wrong.
