Woolston Eyes 25th April 2017
After our visit to Moore Nature Reserve with the birding group (actually just six of us) we went to a local pub for kunch before heading off to the nearby Woolston Eyes Reserve where we managed to get a couple of examples of our target bird, Black-necked Grebe, which was a “year tick” for us.

Birding Group Visit to Moore Nature Reserve : 25th April 2017
On the 25th April we had intended to go to Etherow but David decided that we should not go there, in part because rain (had we had any ?) had washed away some of the path up the hill to the top of the site. Instead we changed our schedule to Moore Nature Reserve.

The so-called high tide was supposed to be 9.7metres at 12:12pm which wasn’t particularly high but we thought it might be OK for Riverbank Road. We were a bit early so we dropped in to Burton Mere Wetlands where we just looked from and around the reception hide. The highpoint must surely have been the

Holiday to San Francisco and Hawaii, March 2017
We went for a fantastic three-week holiday taking in a three-night stop at San Francisco either side of a week on Maui and a week on Big Island. I didn’t record every sighting as it wasn’t really a birding trip, as such, and I wanted to record lots of other things too. I did, however
