is situated just outside of Wolverton (an old Railway town, now swamped by Milton Keynes) in between Old Wolverton and the small villages of Haversham and Cosgrove.As Ashley says: "I live in Milton Keynes in north Buckinghamshire, unfortunately for me what that means is that the likelihood of me finding a British rarity is slim to non-existent, so I make do by watching a site that (as far as I am aware) no other birder watches, which means I have to work all the harder to find things."

straddles the border between North Wales and north-west England. Between the months of October and March it typically holds 100,000 waders (shore-birds) and 30,000 ducks. The estuary holds internationally important numbers of 11 species. Not only that, it is a fabulous place for birding as there is good access along nearly the whole shore, including Hilbre Island, out in the middle of the estuary which is also excellent for sea watching. On top of all that the estuary is surrounded by woodland and heathland both good for birds, and a couple of good fresh water marshes. Information provided by Richard Smith

MacDonald. September 10, 2001. After my husband Duncan and I spent a day recovering from our plane flight from Canada and resetting our internal clocks, we met up with Brian Roberts, a top-notch local birder who introduced us to 61 species on the Dee, 11 of them lifers!

Lying next to the Mersey, the flooded beds inevitably attract large numbers of dabbling ducks moving inland from the estuary.

....Birds in a Cheshire Garden - Being chair/garden bound, through 
illness, has huge and obvious drawbacks. It has, though, given me the opportunity to watch the garden and its birds very closely. My garden in Wilmslow,Cheshire (north-west England) has in fact, become my very local ‘local-patch’. What this has shown me, as much as anything, is that there are interesting things to be seen even from a fairly ordinary suburban garden.
....Marbury Country Park - by Dave Walters of NW Birding. Marbury

the name "Witton Flashes" has been used as a collective term for most of the stretches of water in the Northwich area. Since the Flashes have not existed in their entirety since around the mid 1950's we have taken the name the Witton Limebeds to refer to Neumann's and Ashton's Flash, Marbury Number One Tank and the dry Forge Bed. Also included in this area are the Forge Pools, Marston Flashes, the Witton landfill site and the Anderton Nature park. Originally most of this site was a huge area of various pools and craters created by the relentless extraction of salt from the Witton area.

A huge number of marine invertebrates inhabit this area and at low tide provide a huge food resource for waders and other shore birds. The Southend estuaries are of international importance as wintering grounds for waders and wildfowl where thousands of birds congregate in the winter months

....Marshside and Crossens - by Steve Riley. Marshside and Crossens
Marshes remain exceptional hot spots for birding. The whole area is now a very popular venue and 'watchers from throughout the region and far beyond it recognise the merits of the site. The waders, the grey geese, the hordes of duck and exciting predators capture the imagination. But there is a lot more to the place. 
....Hilbre Island - by Richard Smith. The mouth of the Dee Estuary is 
very different from the inner reaches. Clean golden sands instead of mud and marsh, banks pounded by surf instead of calm water, but one thing above all that sets it apart are the Islands of Hilbre - Little Eye, Little Hilbre (or Middle Eye) and of course the main island of Hilbre itself. Seen from the top of Caldy Hill at high tide the three islands appear like ships steaming through the surf, catching the eye whenever they are in sight. A visit to these islands is a true wilderness experience and they are justly renowned for their birds.

....Birding in Britain ( a Canadian perspective) - by Margo Hearne.
As we stepped into the view blind in Minsmere our voices dropped to a whisper. We crept to a viewing spot and peered out onto the 'scrape' or wetland, scanning for migrant shorebirds. The door creaked as people came and went quietly. There was none of the cheery discussion one encounters in Canada, no shared sightings, wide open spaces and distant horizons. In Britain most of the natural bird use areas have been lost to development and protected areas have been designed and managed to protect what few wild species remain. Those who enjoy birds and want to find concentrations of them have to go to these controlled areas. Viewing blind 'etiquette' has developed and when I accidentally banged my scope against the door I felt like a common criminal and slunk silently to my seat.
