Day Out to WWT Martin Mere 25th November 2012]
It was the North-west Bird Fair over the weekend so we managed to get up there on the second day. There were lots of interesting stands and displays and I attended a half-hour seminar on digiscoping with Swarovski scopes but we still managed to find plenty of time to get to the main hides and so some good birding. The highlights at this time of year are obviously the Whooper Swans and The Pink-footed Geese which were plentiful, but there were also lots of birds of prey about – though we did not manage to catch them all we did get a great sighting of three Peregrine Falcons all at the same time, on the same fence about eight posts apart from each other. But that wasn’t all.
