Birding Group Day Out to Sandbach Flashes 29th November 2011
I hadn’t been to Sandbach Flashes before so I looked it up in “Where to Watch Birds : North West England & the Isle of Man” by A. Conlin et al. This describes Sandbach Flashes as “a series of 15 or so shallow pools formed during the last century as a result of salt mining. The flashes lie in a triangle between Sandbach, Middlewich and Crewe. The main flashes are in an area designated as an SSSI.”(More Details) In fact we only went to one of these flashes, Elton Hall Flash and we would not have had time to visit any of the others anyway because there was so much to see at Elton Hall Flash.
