No firsts but I was told I'd just missed a couple of Pintails at Elton Hall Flash. The Teal was on Fields Farm Flash with 5 others but there was little else on the water here today. Lapwings, Canada Geese and Wigeon were grazing on the far bank but something kept spooking them. I think a fox may have been around but I didn't see it. 02/01/2017 Sandbach, Cheshire. 26 species of Birds and Wildfowl seen today on the way to, and around, Sandbach Flashes at Elton.
