Burton Mere Wetlands : 23 December 2014
To finish off our birding day on the Wirral, after stops at Hoylake for the high tide followed by a visit to New Brighton Marine Lake to see the Purple Sandpipers, we dropped in on Burton Mere Wetlands on the way back. We started off at the reception hide where we got a Black Tailed Godwit and a Spotted Redshank. We walked over to the reedbed hide where we got thee Snipe but, in general, it was far too windy by then for many birds to be around. In fact their bird feeders had suffered quite a bit and were going to need some repairs.
