Burton Mere Wetlands 28th March 2019
Our last birding outing of the month was a solo affair and again featured Burton Mere Wetlands. We were rather hoping that we could see the Long-tailed Duck that has been there. Also we wanted to check out the walk from Denhall Lane, past Net’s Cafe and on to the Denhall Quay and The Harp Inn.

Birding Group visit to Pennington Flash 26th March 2019
The last birding group day of the month was supposed to be to Brockholes but it turned out not to be open yet, according to one of our group, so we opted for Pennington Flash again. It was a nice enough day but windy in every hide. Nothing special was seen.

Birding Group visit to Flint and Burton Mere Wetlands 19th March 2019
I missed the birding group visit to Neumann’s Flash on the 12th March due to bad weather but I did manage to get to the one on the 19th to Flint. Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot there and we had to wait a couple of hours for the tide to recede and a few, common, waders to appear. We eventually decided to go on to Burton Mere Wetlands.

Birding Group Visit to Marshside and Martin Mere – 5th March 2019
The first birding group outing of March was to Marshside and it was windy as ever and only moderately interesting. We had dome by about noon so we decided to go to Martin Mere which was a bit more interesting and gave us a good range of species even though there was nothing especially exciting. At Mrshide and Martin MEre we got our first Ruff of the year and at Martin Mere we also got our first Whooper Swans of the year. That was about it though.
