i have cut and paste this if anyone in the northwest fancies it ,i should be going weather permitting seems changeable for the weekend ,but good onshore winds could bring the birds in closer ,with the chance of a few migrating rarities .see below
Saturday 20th August, Hoylake High Tide Birdwatch.
11 am start, high tide at 1.15 pm, 9.5m.
Free, No need to book.
Join the Coastal Rangers, the Dee Estuary Voluntary Wardens and the RSPB on this high tide birdwatch at Hoylake promenade to see large flocks of wading birds as they gather and roost on the shore. We hope to see dunlin and knot numbers building as they begin to return from their breeding grounds, plus a range of other wading birds on migration. With a rising tide, we should see the birds at close quarters as they roost and feed.
Beginners welcome - a great opportunity to brush up on your wader ID with knowledgeable guides. Dress warmly and bring binoculars if you have them. Telescopes will be available to use throughout. No need to book.
Meet at the bottom of Trinity Road, King's Parade, Hoylake. There are public toilets nearby and various cafes and pubs for refreshments in Hoylake.
