on sat nov 14th my friend and i went to the wirral wader festival at thurstaston country park . we recently joined wader quest and helped on the stall . there were other stalls there too in the old station visitor centre which also has an indoor bird hide and i spent a bit of time in there watching chaffinches , coal tits , great and blue tits on the feeders and some greenfinches came too . there were 2 moorhens on the ground and 2 squirrels on the feeders then 2 of them went on the birdtable and had a fight sending seed everywhere!, the weather wasnt great but we didnt get the chance to go to the dee estuary to spot waders but heard a lot where there. there were talks and an artist at work and on the whole we had a great day doing our bit to help waders . we did see a couple of buzzards on the way to the festival
