High Tide : Hoylake, Riverbank Road and Burton Mere Wetlands 29th October 2019
The last Tuesdayof the month for the birding group was a trip to the Wirral starting at Hoylake at 10 am for an 11:35am high tide of 9.89 metres. It wasn’t particularly high but there haven’t been that many recently, so we were looking forward to and – for once – it was a lovely, wind-free and sunny day.

Guided Birding Brazo del Estes, Northern Doñana, Spain 6th October 2019
We holidayed in Spain for two weeks – one week in Seville and a second week in Cadiz. Although we were not on a birding holiday we did manage to fit in a six hour session with a guide that we found online. The company was Doñana Wings and our guide was Vicent Esteller, the manager of the company.
He picked us up from out hotel, The One-Shot Hotel in Seville about 8am and we drove the twenty minutes or so south-west of Seville to the “eastern branch” of the Guadalquivir River which was river on one side and rice paddy fields on the other. We would never have navigated this place ourselves but our guide was familiar with all the little dusty roads and by-ways that wound through the fields. We made eight or nine stopt atr various places and found some excellent birds everywhere.
