A few hours' walking round
Frodsham Marsh today while the weather was behaving itself. Plenty of warblers about and it was particularly nice to see good numbers of swifts over No.6 Lagoon, too many of my recent sightings have been of one or two where I'd expect to see a dozen or more.

Highlight of the day was bumping into the long-tailed duck that's been staying a few days on No.3 Lagoon. I'd pretty much decided I was having no luck with it today when there it was, on the last big puddle in the field. Not something you'd expect to see sharing a bit of water with some sheep, lapwings, shelduck and a coot. It's a lovely bird and I've never seen the male Summer plumage before.
