Hello Tom - I wonder if you have the time, you might post a little about the wildlife/environment of Liverpool in the 'Be it ever so humble' thread. Those of us who have never been there probably have a preconceived idea of a largely industrialised port, but I have no doubt that there is much more to the city with parks, allotments, gardens etc. which are all havens for wildlife. How does your city approach environmental/conservation issues? It's all of interest to us.
Welcome.

Welcome.
Tink | I hope he does as there are some excellent places around Liverpool. There was one excellent reserve at Seaforth docks that is now closed to members of the public (with the exception of a select few). The reason is because of possible terrorist activity going unseen around the ports.
Crosby Marina is next door to it plus there are many more place in close proximity to Liverpool.

Welcome to WAB Tom.
I'll be in Liverpool for a day sometime in the next few weeks getting mysefl a new Passport. Where would you recommend for some wildlife photo opportunities in the area?

Once again thanks for the welcome.
John has made a good start to your request, and that reserve was my local wildlife retreat for 15 years. So when it was made out of bounds to members of the public, 2 years ago, you can imagine how unhappy I was.
As Tink has suggested, I will add more information on the areas of Liverpool good for wildlife watching in the suggested thread
Tom
ps....i think someone may need to point me in the right direction for the 'Be it ever so humble' thread; Im lost already lol
Thanks |

Welcome Tom. How about a story on those Magpies that live in the heart of Liverpool and nest opposite the Art Gallery. Couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw them. I'me from over the pond in the Wirral.  |

Welcome.
Tink | The reserve across the Mersey at Formby is well worth a visit.
And welcome to Wab, Tom! |

Another reserve that could turn up trumps (but has been strangely quiet of late) is Frodsham, near Runcorn. This used to turn up all sorts of birds and was also a good place to find Hen Harrier around the Weavers Bend but I haven't heard of any sightings there for a while.
It also used to be an excellent place for Corn Buntings but I'm not sure if they haven't moved on as well.
The bodies of water there were split up into what was known as Tanks and out on them the odd rare wader could be found as well as a lot of the more common one's also.
If you see this Tom. What is the latest update on Frodsham. I can't believe how quiet it has gone. There used to be regular reports from there but lately there is very little info coming out.
