Birding Group to Visit to Moore Nature Reserve 9th April 2013 The first birding group morning out of the term was to Moore Nature Reserve was a little under-attended due to holidays and other commitments so there were only six of us. Still we hoped we might hear or see some summer migrants and perhaps…
Visit to WWT Martin Mere 6th April 2013 As we still had a bit of time available to us when we had finished at Mere Sands Wood we made the short drive to WWT Martin Mere. When we go to Martin Mere I reflect that we never see Curlew when we drive past Curlew Lane…
Visit to Mere Sands Woods 6th April 2013 We looked out the window and for once it was a beautiful dry and sunny day so we wasted very little time getting our gear ready and headed off to Mere Sands Wood which we have been meaning to go to – without the addition of snow…

Visit to Rutland Water Nature Reserve 28th March 2013 After we left Lakenheath Fen we drove up to the Midlands where we stayed at the Barnsdale Lodge Hotel, a very comfortable hotel that we had stayed at previously. It is a bit pricey normally but they do good offers for some dates and we took…
Visit to Halesworth 26th March 2013 After we left Minsmere on the 25th we went on to visit friends in Halesworth where we had dinner and caught up on things. They had been promising me that they had a Barn Owl in the field behind them that I could not fail to see if we…
Birding in The Brecks Day 1 : 23rd March 2013 While we were getting work done on our house we thought that it would be a good idea to get away for a week when all that was left to do was the painting work which we felt could not really go wrong. As it…
Visit to WWT Welney 22nd March 2013 As a reward for enduring the renovation work on our house we took a few days off to do a bit of birding and a bit of visiting friends. Our initial plan was to do a two day birding tour of the Brecks but we stopped en route…
Birding Group Visit to Frodsham Marshes 19th March 2013 After missing a couple of weeks of the birding group, due to work being done on our house, we were glad to get back to our mornings out and it was a pleasant day and not too cold or windy. As usual Frodsham was very muddy…
