Rainford Mosslands

Wheatear 1 Clare's Moss, Old Coach Road
Yellow Wagtail 1 Dairy Farm Road
Swallow 100 on wires Dairy Farm Road, 100 Mossborough Hall.
Buzzard 3 Old Coach Road

Fairly quiet on the mosslands this afternoon, though the mid afternoon heat probably didn't help. The Wheatear was on the fence alongside the old horse paddocks on Clare's Moss.
