Birding Group Visit to Upper Goyt Valley and Danebower Quarry 21 May 2024
I always look forward to our visits to the Upper Goyt Valley and Danebower Quarry as we often get some special birds. This time we didn’t get any of the Flycatchers or Redstarts that we often get but we still managed to get six year-ticks.

Brockholes Nature Reserve 15 May 2024
On the 15th May we left Ye Old Fighting Cocks pub and drove down to RSPB Leighton Moss. We were hoping for another sighting of the Osprey but we were out of luck. The Bitterns were all booming away and it was quite a dry hour or so we spent there.

RSPB Leighton Moss 14 May 2024
The birding group had arranged to go to RSPB Leighton Moss on 14 May but a bad weather report put everyone off. We had already booked a room at Ye Old Fighting Cocks in Silverdale (don’t say here again) and it was too late to cancel, so we decided to go ahead on our own while the birding group went to Burton Mere Wetlands.

Burton Mere Wetlands & Leasowe Lighthouse 9 May 2024
Our idea for this lovely sunny and wind-free day was to stop off at Burton Mere Wetlands briefly before going on to Hoylake for the high tide which was due to be 9.7 metres at 13:39hrs. We felt that, with no wind, we didn’t have to get there too early to catch the tide. How wrong we were.
