South Walney Nature Reserve (1 Viewer)

Hi,

Can't believe there's not already a thread dedicated to Walney!

Anyway, just wondering if anyone knows the best areas for seeing the twite and the brent geese?

I'm planning a trip out there tomorrow and hoping the long-tailed duck is still hanging around too. Missed it last time I was there but did find a rather nice glaucous gull.

If anyone hasn't seen it here's a link to Walney's blog:

And the Cumbria Wildlife Trust Page:

Hi,there is a Cumbrian birders thread on the Forum,cannot give you a link,but there is one.
Hope you have a good day tommorrow ,and it is not as windy as it is at the moment!!!.
Cannot help you with the info you need,I have only been a couple of times.

Thanks for the reply!

Caught up with the brent geese straight away. They were hanging around on the shoreline just before the caravan park.

Finally saw the long-tailed duck, it was out of the water (which surprised me) next to the oyster pools. Female scaup was still there as well. Good numbers of greenshank and a snipe were also around the pools.

No luck with the twite though. Next time....
