Road closure in place
The road is closed on Wiggins lane (up past Windmill Farm) and visitors travelling from Southport and Preston to Martin Mere will be diverted to the A59.
Martin Mere is accessible from the A59 Burscough. There are road closed signs in place but these are pre-warning signs for the closure on Wiggins Lane.
A redshank was seen on the mere this week, along with some black-tailed godwits and ruffs. The barn owl has been showing particularly well all over the site, including Ron Barker hide (where a peregrine was seen on Saturday) and woodend marsh (where 10 cattle egrets were also spotted).
