Birding Group Visit to Point of Ayr 12th February 2013 We planned this visit to coincide with a high tide (10 metres) and we thought that if we arrived at the viewing site by an hour bebore this we would be well in position to observe the tide come in.

Birding Group Day Out to RSPB Marshside and Mere Sands Woods 5th February 2013
Birding Group Day Out to RSPB Marshside and Mere Sands Woods 5th February 2013 Last week we deferred our visit to Marshide due to bad weather though surely it couldn’t have been much worse than we had this week with phenomenally strong winds and later on driving rain.

Visit to Wirral Country Park for RSPB Walk 2nd February 2013 I had seen references to Thurstaston and Wirral Country Park on birding web sites and it was said to be good for wintering birds.

Visit to Budworth Mere 29th January 2013
Visit to Budworth Mere 29th January 2013 After the birding group finished up at Neumann’s Flash, Mike and I thought we had enough time to go over to Budworth Mere to see whether that had thawed out since I had been there a few days before. It had almost completely thawed out so there was plenty of open water at the reed bed hide where…

Birding Group Visit to Neumann’s Flash 29th January 2012
Birding Group Visit to Neumann’s Flash 29th January 2012 Our planned visit to Marshside and Mere Sands Woods, for a higher than normal tide, was called off due to expected poor weather. Instead we rescheduled to Neumann’s Flash where we were supposed to go to in February. In the end, the weather wasn’t too bad and we largely stayed dry. We parked in the lay-by…
