Returned to Frodsham Marsh this afternoon....4-7pm.
Having had great day out on Sunday visiting first Moore NR and then Frodsham with Ann (Thomo)....when we saw lesser spotted woodpecker, thought I would have another look at Frodsham.
1 ring tailed hen harrier 4pm.......dropped into reeds and not seen again, 1 male marsh harrier 5.30pm good but distant views hunting over reedbed and edge of tank, and then just as I was leaving 1 superb male hen harrier, really close view quartering over reedbed. Unfortunately had just packed camera away ! Also 1 ruff, chiffchaff singing, 6 sand martin and best of all 1 swallow......first of the year.
All sightings over no6 tank.

Please.Keefy

If you go onto web site for Frodsham Marsh and click on .....map.......there is a great little map that shows all details of which tank is which and access roads.
no6 tank is the main tank with water and quite a big reedbed. Access roads area bit bumpy and a bit of a walk is needed to get to the Weaver bend.

Sorry
The website should have read
....Frodsham Marsh Birdblog
and just click on marsh map.
