The new Pine Lake?

Tonight's pool-based entertainment was provided by a couple in wetsuits, swimming caps and goggles giving it full lengths in the main Freeman's Pool. What next? Frankly, I give up...

What few birds there were included 2 adult and 1 juv little ringed plover on the upper pools. Another juv LRP was at the Wildfowlers' Pools though I couldn't find any green sands anywhere.

The male broad-bodied chaser was still in its favoured spot.

Birding at Aldcliffe

For a map of the whole site please click on the 'Aldcliffe map' tab at the top of the page.

Please be aware that some of the specific site names are not necessarily 'real' names and may have been coined by local patch birders, however some (such as Frog Pond and Pony Wood) are historically established.

IMPORTANT:
We ask that visiting birders keep to all public rights of way.
Aldcliffe Marsh is owned and managed by Morecambe Bay Wildfowlers Association and is strictly private. A public footpath runs along the length of the marsh along Dawson's Bank from the parking area north to Marsh Point.
Only view the Wildfowlers' Pools from the cycle track or from Dawson's Bank. Please do not enter the field.

All the main birding hotspots are viewable from public pathways.

If you wish to report any interesting Aldcliffe area sightings please comment on this site, post on the LDBWS website or if it is a significant scarcity report your find to the rarity hotlines such as Rare Bird Alert (01603 456 789).

You may also pass on reports of your sightings, make comments or generally moan about the blog by contacting joncbirder AT yahoo.com (replace AT with @)
