Visit to Moore Nature Reserve : 3rd August 2012
The weather has been pretty poor so when it looked like we had a window of opportunity we jumped at it and went out to Moore Nature Reserve for a walk. Often we walk through Rigby’s Wood and on to Middle Moss Wood and Birchwood Pool but this time we walked to the left of the car park up the grassy slope that leads to the high land that overlooks Lapwing Lake. Anne had not walked this route before so it was a different view of Moore from that she is accustomed to. It was a bit late in the season though and lots of the birds were in hiding or just not singing. The land is very overgrown compared to early or late in the year as well and this makes it a bit different. However, there were a couple of nice sightings to be had anyway.
