Gary Gallagher is a film set engineer and a jolly good pal. He enjoys art, wildlife, fishing, real ale, women and just about everything else worth enjoying. Before heading back to the big smoke, Gary afforded a couple of hours with Mark and myself around the Southport side of the Ribble Estuary, a stomping ground that has changed a lot since Gary last stomped it: the 1980s...!
Garganey, 10/05/15, Marshside, Southport. Don't see these guys very often. Two males here today.

Curlew Sandpipers, 10/05/15 Marshside, Southport. Not common, so great to see this threesome zipping around..
Goldfinch, 10/05/15, Marshide, Southport. Common as hell but WOW what a bird! Lots here.
Med Gulls, 10/05/15, Marshside, Southport. Resplendent in full breading plumage, far more impressive than their surrounding cousins.
Avocets, 10/05/15, Marshside, Southport. The emblem for the RSPB and I can fully see why.
