    Birding around Liverpool

    Martin Mere (WWT) is also possible via public transport, the 'easiest' way being train Liverpool to Burscough (change Ormskirk) and walk via the canal to New Lane then along Marsh Moss Lane.

    Yorkshire Birding

    And it was the only duck on the lake. It's been soooo grim there the last couple of years I wonder why I bother at all (new owners = dog walking, swimming, boats, hates birders) so it's nice to get something decent :eek!:

    Updates on my blog have been erratic this year but I've had a bit of a splurge over the last week with some photos from July-November that are even worse than my laziness. http://kelkbirds.blogspot.co.uk/
