Martin Mere

Another visit to Martin Mere today where the Temminck's stint and wood sandpiper were both still present, in fact there were now two wood sands on Woodend marsh and they both showed very well from the Tomlinson hide.

Other highlights included my first cuckoo of the year, singing from poplar trees adjacent to the reedbed.

Martin Mere is a fabulous site these days with loads of habitat. The best nature reserve in North West England by some considerable distance in my opinion.
