Local area: Sparrowhawk, Water Rail, Squirrel etc

Instead of heading to Wales again, I decided to stay local with having a few things to do! Around lunchtime I popped round to see my elderly grandad who will soon be 95! He has a great garden full of wildlife. There's a male and female Sparrowhawk who visit his garden usually picking up the left over, half eaten Wood Pigeons which we think are brought into the garden by a fox. Along with Blue Tits, Great Tits, Robin, 10+ Black Bird, Fieldfare has been around recently scaring all the black birds away, Carrion Crow, 4 Jays, Feral Pigeon's - nice mix of colours, Wood Pigeon (alive as well!) etc.
Today a nice female Sparrowhawk was there with dark bars on the underbody.

Around 2pm I went off to Burton marshes, saw some Waxwings on Chester Road. 

Arrived at Burton, saw a lot of Coots around and then a Water Rail appeared out, I haven't seen one of these around Burton yet, so a first for me.

Grey Squirrel, I know there common but I can never resist taking a photo!

Saw these two again... (below) Canada Goose with? a bit like a Grey Lag (sort of!) a strange mixture, never seen this before. 

He spent most of his time fighting off the other couple.

What else I saw:

10+ Shelduck

50+ Lapwing

26 Teal

6+ Canada Geese (apart from the above)

x1 Cormorant

x1 Grey Lag Gose - probably another/more around

Tufted Ducks
Oystercatcher

Heron

Coots

Mallards...

Male Pheasant 

Siskins

Chaffinch

Blue and Great Tits etc

The other day I saw a large Female Hen Harrier #stunning. 

Today possibly another Harrier, some were saying a juvenile male...

I was hoping for an owl but no luck! so around 5/6pm I decided to call it a day.
