Summary : August 2014
Birding Days Out
On the 8th August we drove up to WWT Martin Mere where we managed to see a nice pair of Wood Sandpipers. On the 12th we went up to Hoylake for a high tide (13.01hrs (BST), 9.8m) where we had close views of large numbers of Dunlin, Ringed Plovers and Sandwich Terns. A Visit to Woolston Eyes was less sepctacular but still a nice day out.
On the 26th August we we stayed overnight at Arnside which gave us the chance to have a long visit to RSPB Leighton Moss where we had good views of Greenshank, Spotted Redshanks, Water Rails and Great White Egrets. We stayed overnight and went back to the reserve on the following day.
