RSPB Leighton Moss : 26th March 2015
RSPB Leighton Moss : 26th March 2015 We decided to take a trip up to Sizergh Castle for a Hawfinch spotting morning and decided to throw in a couple of visits to Leighton Moss RSPB reserve. The last time we visited here in similar circumstances we had had three fantastic “life ticks” – a “redhead” Smew, a Snow Goose and a Glossy Ibis. This time…

Birding Group Visit to Frodsham Marsh : 24th March 2015
Birding Group Visit to Frodsham Marsh : 24th March 2015 A fairly quiet day on the marshes. We started off at the usual path leading to the Weaver Bend. A fair number of species but numerically modest. A few Goldeneye could be found with a bit of effort and a small group including Gadwall, Teal and Redshank. Curlews flew over in small numbers and a…

Birding Group Visit to Marbury Park : 10th March 2015 The birding group visit this week was to Marbury Park. It was a pretty quiet affair really. Wes searched the reed bed for Bittern but to no avail. Budworth Mere had the usual Cormorants and Black-headed Gulls on posts and the water held mainly large numbers of Great Crested Grebe and Tufted Duck with just…

Birding Group Visit to Sandbach Flashes : 3rd March 2014
Birding Group Visit to Sandbach Flashes : 3rd March 2014 A brisk morning at Sandbach Flashes saw a rather small birding group party – just six people including us three ! As usual, though, you can expect a nice range of birds. We didn’t do too well on waders but there was an attractive mixed group of Fieldfare and Redwing feeding on the grassy slopes…
