Wintering birds of Gowy Meadows - Thornton le Moors, Cheshire
A guided walk around the Cheshire Wildlife Trust's largest nature reserve looking for any species present, at this time of year the wintering birds are likely to dominate proceedings, but there's often something unexpected. Steve Holmes has been recording on the reserve for over 10 years and as a great general naturalist can switch effortlessly from birds to many insect genera and even the occasional plant! Expect to walk 3-5 km, but it's often slow going as Steve unearths huge numbers of species so some walks may overrun. Includes hot drink and homemade cake. Booking essential.Wintering birds of Gowy Meadows - Thornton le Moors, Cheshire

Parkgate Tidewatch - Parkgate, Wirral
10:30am - 2:30pm.
Join the RSPB team at Parkgate Old Baths for the awe-inspiring spectacle of a high tide flooding the vast saltmarsh, potentially reaching the old sea wall. The marsh at Parkgate is one of the best wetland habitats in the northwest, and when flooded by an incoming tide, the wildlife which lives here is pushed closer, with chance of seeing the great range of ducks, geese, wading birds and egrets in big numbers as they are driven upstream by the rising tide. A range of birds of prey take advantage of mice and voles flushed from the grasses; hen and marsh harriers, peregrines and merlins all spend the winter months on the estuary and this is one of the best places to watch them, plus short-eared owls if we're really lucky. So why not venture out to try witness all the drama. Low pressure and a westerly wind will help push the tide and wildlife in close.
Arts and crafts activities centred around all things space! Whether you enjoy drawing or making, drop-in anytime between 11am-4pm and find something for all the family to enjoy. Booking essential.Parkgate Raptorwatch - Parkgate, Wirral
