Birding Group Visit to Brockholes Nature Reserve 26th February 2013
The last birding group outing for the month was to a new venue for us, Brockholes Nature Reserve which turned out to be a much larger site than we had imagined on the many occasions we had passed over it on the motorway. They have great facilities and there are several routes you can take around the site. We parked up at the car park – which charges £4 for five hours – and walked down to the swish visitor centre / cafe / shop complex. Our first treat was to four Meadow Pipits feeding on the small hillock to our left.
