Finally got good views of the Bonaparte's gull that has been showing well (just not when I was there) for the past 3 days at Hoylake.
Good numbers of oystercatcher, sanderling, dunlin, ringed plover, sandwich terns and common terns. Gannets offshore with common scoter, a couple of arctic skuas off Hilbre, some grey plovers, a peregrine and sparrowhawk have given added interest.
