Summary November 2013
Summary November 2013 Garden November started off quietly in the garden and it seems like, although we do occasionally see Tits, Blackbirds and Goldfinches, the birds are not yet ready to return from their normal habitats to gardens for the autumn. Autumn is afoot, however, and the leaves are falling enough to leave some trees bare. By the 20th the weather had got much colder…

Birding Group Visit to Frodsham Marsh : 26th November 2013
Birding Group Visit to Frodsham Marsh : 26th November 2013 We were driving up the lane leading to the parking place at Frodsham and as we drove along a Kestrel flew parallel to the car for a while giving us really close views. As it peeled off and flew into the distance we started to see a mixed flock of Redwing and Fieldfare feeding on…

Birding Group Visit to WWT Martin Mere 19th November 2013 With the weather forecast indicating rain and possible snow, we were lucky that our birding group day landed just before the start of a spell of cold and wet weather.

Birding Group Visit to Parkgate and Hoylake 5th November 2013 We have been to Parkgate a few times now, usually for the high tides, and this was our reason again today.

Birding Group Visit to Burton Mere Wetlands 5th November 2013
Birding Group Visit to Burton Mere Wetlands 5th November 2013 The first Birding group visit of the month was to Burton Mere Wetlands on a very windy – but largely dry – day. It as due to be a high tide so we thought we would either linger at Burton Mere Wetlands or go on to Parkgate and/or Hoylake after a bit. We started off…

Summary October 2013
Summary October 2013 Garden Things were fairly quiet at the start of the month with just a handful of Goldfinches and a few Blue Tits pretty constant. A Mistle Thrush has been lurking around on the neighbouring house roofs, perhaps eying up their winter supply of berries on the Rowan trees. On the whole though the background temperature has often been quite high and the…
