Some images from an enjoyable visit to WWT Martin Mere. Highlights were species such as Marsh Harrier, Sparrowhawk, Snipe, Avocets, Chiffchaff, Cetti's Warbler and Brimstone Butterfly.
Our latest coach trip to RSPB Saltholme was enjoyed by all, as we explored this fantastic reserve in the North East. There were several hides to watch to birds from, and pleasant walks around the lakes and pools set in the middle of an industrial backdrop. We even had a bonus trip to Seal Sands where the Harbour Seals provided the entertainment for us. A full list of species seen during the day can be found below. Many thanks to Clare for organising another successful coach trip for the Society.
