Slimbridge WWT Reserve 2nd April 2023
On a trip to the south of England to visit friends, we managed to get a couple of days with some birding. We drove down on the 1st April but we got stuck on the motorway almost as soon as we started. With the car parked and the engine off for three hours, we didn’t make it to Slimbridge that afternoon but we did get…

The last birding morning of the winter term took us to Marbury Park with a lunch at the Bergamot and Spinner where we also had our planning session for the following term. When we first arrived at the car park it was a little damp but then it soon got much wetter. We hovered around for a bit before deciding that we would go to…

High Tide at Parkgate and Burton Mere Wetlands 21 March 2023
A hight tide of 9.8 metres at 10:49am took us up to Parkgate where, amazingly, the car park at the Old Baths was viertually empty.

Being the first day the tide wasn’t particularly high…

Birding Group RSPB Marshside and WWT Martin Mere 7th March 2023
There were only five of the birding group available for the trip to RSPB Marshside. The day was uncharacteristically very sunny and the wind was less than usual so that made for a less arduous trip than is often the case here. We were surprised to see a lot of the inner marsh under water so the incredibly large numbers of birds usually there were…
