Birding Group Visit to the Wirral for a low high tide 28th March 2017
The so-called high tide was supposed to be 9.7metres at 12:12pm which wasn’t particularly high but we thought it might be OK for Riverbank Road. We were a bit early so we dropped in to Burton Mere Wetlands where we just looked from and around the reception hide. The highpoint must surely have been the eighty-two Avocet right outisde the reception hide.

Holiday to San Francisco and Hawaii, March 2017
We went for a fantastic three-week holiday taking in a three-night stop at San Francisco either side of a week on Maui and a week on Big Island. I didn’t record every sighting as it wasn’t really a birding trip, as such, and I wanted to record lots of other things too. I did, however take as many photos as I could. though we did not see too many endemics (we never really got much of a chance to spend time on our own in the rain forests which is where we really need to be) Despite that we clocked up about forty species and twenty-six of those were lifers.
