Another successful
'Feed The Birds Day' at one of our local churches, run
in conjunction with Operation
Eden the partnership for the social,
economic, environmental and spiritual welfare of our

winter. Lovely people and a great buffet. Thanks.

'Big' Garden Birdwatch Day -
Sefton Park Palm House.
27/01/07 - 28/01/07
It was a little
chilly standing on the steps of the Palm House at the
weekend, but this didn't put off our budding bird
watchers. Two Nuthatches were the stars of the bird
tables delighted to find a heap of tasty peanuts for the
taking. The clowns were quite obviously the
uninvited grey squirrels, the rest of the
supporting cast were Blackbirds, Robins, Dunnock,
Blue, Great and Long tailed Tits, Magpies, Crows, Song
Thrush, Redwing (winter thrush visitors from Europe)
Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Goldfinch (remember the niger
seed), Pied Wagtail and Sparrowhawk.
Inside it was a lot warmer and the aroma
of coffee and the thought of a yummy Danish pastry
was comforting. Great fun was had by all who built fat
seed feeders with our buddies, the Liverpool Rangers.
Kids got colouring, sticking and dotting whilst the
adults perused and sought answers at the information and
seed sales stands.
Remember the park holds
other treasures, not just in the Palm House grounds,
other birds found this weekend; the much sought
Kingfisher, pretty woodland Siskin's in the park and
the fine majestic Great crested Grebe's on the lake.

Ferries Heritage & RSPB Wildlife Cruise - 22/07/07 Here's
the gang from Stockbridge Junior Rangers enjoying
our wildlife cruise, busy colouring and making
masks & cards. Another
warm sunny day dawned for our second cruise of the week.
As our guests sunbathed on top, our experts pointed out
the landmarks of Liverpool 800yr Heritage (Happy
Birthday to us -28/07/07) and our
estuary birds, including Terns, Cormorant, Shag, Scoter
and a Med Gull . Chris even got the kids involved with
dishing out the 'chum' (remember Jaws!) and the far less
stinky bread.
