Monday 17th MayHesketh New Marsh
This evening's walk will follow flat tracks across farmland, as we explore Hesketh New Marsh, leading to the River Douglas. We would hope to see various waders, including Avocet and perhaps a Marsh Harrier, if we are lucky. |
Monday 24th MayWhite Coppice
The famous Cuckoo walk. Walking down the valley to search for the illusive Cuckoo. Also studying the ridge at Black Coppice for Birds of Prey, taking in the scree and wooded hillside for Redstart, Wood Warbler and other migrants. Returning via a track to overlook rough fields and the Goit. (An enclosed waterway). |
Monday 31st May
Bretherton Moss
This walk explores Bretherton Moss which is particularly renowned for breeding Yellowhammer, whilst the agricultural land also offers the opportunity to view ground nesting birds such as Lapwing and Oystercatcher. A rich collection of Fauna and Flora can also be observed during this walk. |
