High Tide at Hoylake and Parkgate 22 August 2024
There were two high tides on the Wirral this month – 22nd August (13.48hrs 9.7m) and 23 Aug (14.30hrs 9.7m). We opted to go on the first day despite there being some weather warnings. As it happened it stayed dry but there were strong winds. We started of fat Meols before dropping down to Hoylake where we sheltered from the wind by the lifeboat station

Barn Owls in Chorlton 17th August 2024
We were told by some neighbours who had been out dog walking that two adult Barn Owls and two chicks had been seen in a field near Brookburn school. The weather has been dry some days and wet others so we took the chance on the next day it was dry and we were not disappointed.

Burton Mere Wetlands and Parkgate 16 August 2024
It had been a while since we were last at Burton Mere Wetlands so we were glad to get back to some decent birding. Our reward wasn’t to see any new species but we did see some nice birds and a pair of birds we had only ever seen singly.

July 2024 Summary
The summary for July is simple – no birding at all apart from the back garden. This was due to a combination of wet days, hot days and all the birds laying low in the countryside after the breeding season.

Birding Group Visit to Marbury Park 25 June 2024
The last birding group morning out of the “term” was to Marbury. It was a very hot day and, although we didn’t see much special, we did get a single yer tick – a Kingfisher. The woods were full of the singing of Song Thrushes, Blackbirds, Blackcaps and Wrens.
