St Helens BONE twitchathon

Attached is the birding list from both teams in the first ever St Helens BONE twitchathon. A combined total of 57 species was seen in 2 hours which is impressive. The highlight was a migratory shorebird, a single Grey-tailed Tattler at Beer Barrel Beach! It is still there so worth getting out there to have a look. 

Best birding wishes,
