A party of 18 set off from The Old Liverpool Road at Sollom and crossed the main road (A59) to walk down Smith's Lane. The first birds seen were 2 Common Buzzards which was a good start. This lane was Tarmacked as it was the access to Moss Side Farm. Beyond the farm it became a track.
At least 12 Hares were seen and at least 50 Lapwings. Someone spotted a Little Owl near a Barn at the farm plus a couple of Stock doves.
A single Corn Bunting was heard faintly then spotted perched on a scrub on the edge of a ploughed field with a typical stance.
At 8.15 we retraced our steps as a large black cloud was gathering.
We just got back to Sollom before it started raining.
Six of the group retired to the Cock and Bottle PH Tarleton for a well deserved drink. This area lived up to its name as a perfect Mossland habitat and a good evening was had by all.
