Wow. How does a Huyton lad (I'm guessing from your user name!) End up out that way?!

Pure luck. Met and married a girl from these parts. Had two options when she was done with Uni: She moves to Huyton and we live in my dad's using my grill chef wage, or I move to here and live in her Grandparents place while she's working in regulatory for a major company.
It wasn't a hard choice

Busy morning at the bird feeder. (Sometimes we go a week with nothing coming to it, and then in one day it completely empties).
Tits - coal, great, blue.
Robin
Pair of nuthatches
Woodpigeon
Collard dove
2 squirrels (grey).
Blackbird (that really confused me as it was male but had a black beak but means its still young).

I was running across Allerton Golf course last Winter and one dropped down out of the trees in front of me, to drink from a puddle, couldn`t believe how small it was !
When I was a youngster, I found a Goldcrest nest, hanging like a basket from a branch, midway up a Spruce tree.
Again it was tiny, like a little cup full of tiny eggs !
I was walking around our estate today when I spotted six cormorants amongst the ducks and swans on one of the small ponds.
As far as I'm aware these birds are rarely on freshwater as they usually eat significant amounts of large fish.
This is a small shallow pond created by the builders as a drainage/flood pond, nobody fishes it and I have never seen any fish in it.
Why would these birds be here? @COYBL25

It’s either a stop off on the way to a larger water or there are small fish in it, such as roach or dace.
Half a dozen of them can quite literally empty a pond of silver fish within weeks and a flock can wreak havoc on a lake.
They’re like gulls, in that some of them have abandoned the coast and chosen to live inland full time.
They’re very bad news, which is why some fishermen have chosen to start “ culling “ them on the sly.
A lots of water capable birds use water for safety.
The pond is shallow and at times it is very clear, I have never seen any fish whatsoever in there, nor has anyone ever fished it.
I went past last week and there were two cormorants which has now increased to six.
I've never even seen a heron on this pond.

Maybe just using it to roost overnight on ?
