Haydock Park

Blue-headed Wagtail flava male. One showing the characters of this 'species' today 0555-0620+ was also present on 5th April at 0750. There is a possibility that it's an inter-grade with Yellow flavissima a pair of which were also present today. Walk east along the Lodge Lane Pumping Station overflow track to the central 'crossroads'. The bird has been around the soil/waste heaps here and along the track northwards.
