Ever wondered what creatures lurk in the saltmarsh at RSPB
Marshside? This summer holiday, it’s the perfect time to find out by joining
the RSPB for a Saltmarsh Safari adventure.
Armed with sweep nets and magnifying glasses, budding wildlife
explorers will be taken on a journey through the saltmarsh to enjoy close-up
views of the amazing creatures and plants which make their home in this hostile
landscape.
Nick Godden,
RSPB Ribble Reserves Warden, said: “If crawling
through the grass armed with a pooter to catch minibeasts, or sieving mud in
search of worms sounds like fun, then this is the perfect activity for you.
“The safari is
an ideal way for families and children to safely explore the intriguing
wildlife in the saltmarsh, but of course, it’s not just for children – the
event is also a great excuse for adults to find their inner child and enjoy a
wild adventure.
“We never know
quite what we might find, but prepare to be amazed at the variety of creatures
which makes their home here.”
Running on
Sunday 26 July, Wednesday 12 August and Monday 24 August, the Saltmarsh Safari
starts at 11 am from
the RSPB car park on Marine Drive, Southport (next to reserve and old sand works)..
This event will cost £4 for RSPB members, £5
for non-members and £2 for all under-18s. Booking is
essential for this event, please call the Ribble Discovery Centre on 01253
796292 to book your place.
