A day surveying in the Frodsham general area was broken up with an hour or so sifting through gulls by the Gowy Landfill and a quick look on Frodsham No6. I didn't manage to locate any scarcer gulls, but an enjoyable time trying. Over on No6 there were really large numbers of waders - great to see. Hard to make count estimates, but perhaps 1500 black-tailed godwits, 1000 golden plover and 2000 lapwing, as well as about 500 dunlin. There were also 10 or so ruff and 3 bar-tailed godwits and a few hundred redshanks. The No3 mitigation pool held 60 teal and 10 shoveler too. Nothing spectacular, but certainly a spectacle. I should visit more often.
