Birding Group High Tide Burton Mere Wetlands and Parkgate 10th March 2020
Another Tuesday of mixed weather (and perhaps the coronavirus) led most of the birding group to stay at home and only two of us went up to the Wirral for a high tide of 10 metres at 11:30am. As it happened, the weather wasn’t that bad overall and it was worth the trip for one or two nice birds and a good inflow of water…

Birding Group RSPB Conwy and Little Orme 3rd March 2020
A slight improvement to the recent, poor, weather saw the birding group reschedule the previously cancelled visit to RSPB Conwy. We also wanted to try for Hawfinches at Llanbedr-y-cennin and go on to Little Orme to look for Chough. As it happens, we didn’t see Hawfinches or Choughs but we did have a good day and got some nice year ticks.

High Tide on the Wirral 25th February 2020
February was the wettest on record with flooding in lots of areas of the country. Although Manchester got it relatively well, it did put a damper on the birding for most of the month.

High Tide on the Wirral 11th February 2020
With poor weather expected, the high tide of 10 metres at 12:35pm, on the Wirral, posed problems for most of the birding group and only two of us dared the predicted high winds. Ironically, we often say that a high tide is disappointing because there was not enough wind blowing the water towards land to make it a “spectacular” but, when such conditions are predicted,…

Birding In Lanzarote January 2020
A frequent holiday we make in January is to Lanzarote and whilst it is not a birding holiday as such, we do try to see a few birds and always take a run out to El Jable, the “desert area” in the top half of the island. Over the two weeks we got a relatively modest thirty-four species of birds but a few of the…

Birding Group Pennington Flash 7th January 2020
The first birding group outing of 2020 was to Pennington Flash. I wasn’t able to walk around the whole of the route due to my muscle injury but we still managed to get a decent number of birds but nothing particularly special. A nice day to get out and about though and Pennington was very busy with birders who also thought the same.
