A lovely visit to Martin Mere 23rd March 2014

If you have never been or havent been for a long time, you need to make the effort and get along to WWT Martin Mere in Burscough. I'm not a bird watcher, I just love the walk around the reserve, especially if the weather is nice. So much to see and different things everytime.

Protecting migrating birds in Lancashire

Hundreds of special diverters have saved migrating swans and geese from colliding with overhead power lines in Lancashire following the first study of its kind in the country.

Working with WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre we have seen a 50% reduction in power cuts caused by bird collisions after 150 bird diverters were attached to overhead power lines last winter in the area surrounding the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) site in Burscough.
