Search for Crossbills, Broomhead Reservoir 14th December 2013
Search for Crossbills, Broomhead Reservoir 14th December 2013 I had been looking for weeks at the sightings of Two-barred and Common Crossbills listed on the Birdguides “Bird News Anywhere” site but had not yet found the time to get over to Broomhead Reservoir which is nearly at Sheffield.

Visit to Hoylake and Parkgate for High Tide : 5th December 2013
Visit to Hoylake and Parkgate for High Tide : 5th December 2013 We had high hopes for a visit to Hoylake and Parkgate for a 9.9 metre high tide (12.24pm at Liverpool) that wasn’t really a birding group date but several of the group had planned to go there. Unfortunately the combination of low pressure, high tide and gale-force westerly winds led to this at…
