Join us at Martin Mere WWT for a great day's birding
14 October 2011 - WWT Martin Mere reserve, Burscough, Lancashire
The Bird Watching team has planned an exciting day out at the WWT Martin Mere reserve in Lancashire on Friday 14 October 2011. Here's what they have to say about it:
At this exclusive event we will be joined by Alan Davies and Ruth Miller, famous for their record-breaking Biggest Twitch, top bird photographer Ron Thomas, and the warden and his staff for a day of great birding culminating in the evening geese spectacular.
Throughout the day there will be talks and workshops, guided walks and the chance to ask all your questions about optics, as well as free entry to the reserve and a glimpse behind the scenes. All this for the bargain price of just £50 per person.
Don’t delay in booking as places are limited!
