At high tide this afternoon, an adult male Peregrine was teaching two juveniles how to hunt over the eastern fields, where 65 Stock Doves and 60 Carrion Crows were present. Overlooking the river the following was counted; 210 Bar-tailed Godwits, 2 Black-tailed Godwits, 450 Dunlin, 255 Oystercatchers, 1 Common Sandpiper, 1 Greenshank, 80 Redshanks, 27 Curlew, 9 Common Terns and 6 female Eiders. A distant female Marsh Harrier, 2 very distant Gannets (off Lytham) and 8 Little egrets moving upriver from Freckleton made it an even more interesting birding experience.
