Birding Group Visit to WWT Martin Mere 19th November 2013
With the weather forecast indicating rain and possible snow, we were lucky that our birding group day landed just before the start of a spell of cold and wet weather. In fact, after a little bit of defrosting of the car, we had a fine day with no rain at all and often clear blue skies. When we got to WWT Martin Mere reserve it was obvious that they had had a slight fall of snow there overnight but it was clear for us – if cold. At this time of year we were hoping to have good views of Whooper Swans and Pink-footed Geese and perhaps Marsh Harriers and any other raptors attracted to the site as the numbers of birds increases.
