    Heswall and Thurstaston are certainly good for Whimbrel, although numbers fluctuate a lot. The 80+ were seen off Thurstaston on a neap high tide. With tide heights now increasing rapidly over the next week or so your best bet is either to go to Heswall (Banks Road car park) and walk towards...

    Carr Lane Pools There have been some good birds at Carr Lane Pools recently which have attracted a lot of birders, unfortunately, by standing on the road side they are putting their lives at risk from fast moving traffic. So see the notice below: BIRDWATCHERS - CARR LANE POOLS DUE TO THE...

    She's just quoting from the article on their website! She mentions the citation for the SSSI both above and her later email.

    Was down at Red Rocks a couple of times last week - at the point not the reserve, but did see a CWT van there on each occaison so it was obviously they who have been cutting the trees down - although they may have been doing this at the request of RLGC.
