Happy New Year to all our readers


Greetings all.
Sending you best wishes for a Happy Healthy Successful New year.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and for those who over-indulged last night your  sore heads are recovering!
Welcome to 2015, and a great ‘Birding’ year ahead of us.

I’ve spent the morning chillin by the window, and before the world went dark and the heavens opened ‘the Nook’ had seen 16 different species visiting the buffet table. My first bird of 2015 was a Blue tit, followed by blackbird, house sparrow, robin, goldfinch, feral pigeon, great tit, starling, wren, jay, wood pigeon, greenfinch, coal tit, dunnock, chaffinch and  magpie.  I’m sure there’s a sparrowhawk somewhere, birds very skittish.
So, what was your first bird??

Our membership has had a  busy year, bore out by the number of blog entries we had this year , a whopping 116 (so see blog monthly menu if your looking for some quiet  inspiration or amusement whilst its raining)
Remember our blog is our voice, your voice, so feel free to send blogs or  snippets for uploading.

GET YOUR TICK LIST OFF TO A FLYING START


An ideal way to start the new year. Join us on our annual wildlife trip around Liverpool, getting out early to try and see as many birds as we can find in a day in Liverpool. A good variety of birds will be seen, going on to other sites such as Sefton park and Childwall woods, aiming to increase our total. Last year we found 58 different species - including Jack
snipe, treecreeper and parakeet. Stay out with us as long as you wish, but you could be out till dusk.

Tiolet and Cafe Facilities Sefton Park only.

Car sharing possible contact leader.


Easy walk, but Garston coastal path could be muddy, and this part of the walk is not suitable for wheelchairs.
