4 November 2016

A brief update. If you check the previous 3 of 4 sightings updates you will get a good idea how busy the reserve is at the moment with wildfowl, geese and swans.

Raptors; Peregrine (ad), 2 Marsh Harrier, 4 Common Buzzard, 2 Kestrel, 2 Sparrowhawk.

Green Sandpiper from the Harrier Hide, 49 Ruff mostly around the Mere.

Belated news of a Jack Snipe on Sunday.

At least 2 Stonechat out on the fence line from the United Utilities Hide.

The essential Lancashire Bird Report is now available to buy from the in focus shop. Still only £7

As usual it should be possible to see at least 50 species of bird in a day without too much effort, although a telescope is very useful from most of the hides.

If you are visiting the reserve, pop in to the in focus shop (next to the Discovery Hide) where we have a full list of birds, and should be able to point you in the right direction to get the most out of your visit.
