c40 Leach's Petrel flew out of the river past Crosby throughout the morning. Seemed a real lack of any other seabirds though. No Gannets, Auks or Skuas for us and only one Manxie🧐 Did get a nice fly by from a 2ndw Med gull though. #Seabirds

First for Britain? This Yellow-throated Warbler at Liverpool Docks on 13 August may become the first UK record of this North American songbird. Feeding beside a ship from New Orleans, the bird seems to be the resident Louisiana-breeding albilora form. Will the BOURC accept it?

Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) 🐦💍💛 (Modelled by our very own VIP 😌👑) #Seabirds #IrishSea
