Sea Fishing and Walking in the UK

Southport Beach, Merseyside and a Few Links

Southport, Merseyside - Looking South Towards the Pier
This week we've not been sea fishing or walking at all as we've been replenishing our supplies of gear that has either been used up or lost over the past few months.

We did manage to get out to Southport yesterday where we bought a new pair of binoculars from Waddington Photographic small enough to stuff into a rucksack so that we can take them wherever we go.

As the weather has been so grim over the past week I've been doing a lot of 'surfing' so below are a few websites or articles that I came across.

RSPB purchase 170 hectares in wetland project
This is great news for the area and is only a 10 minute cycle ride from my house, an RSPB reserve at Hesketh Out Marsh, on our doorstep, fantastic!

A couple of websites for the avid bird watcher in the North West;
Dee Estuary Birding
A great resource for all things avian around the River Dee (between North Wales and the Wirral)
Another Place...Birding the South Sefton coast
All the birding news from the South Sefton Coast

Henry Gilbey - Worldwide Fishing Pictures
Henry is a sea fishing addict and a great photographer- the images on his website are amazing. Henry can also frequently be seen in action on Discovery Reel Time.

  • The new reserve is somewhere I will definately be visiting once it is up and running. Great news for the region, the RSPB, and mostly for the wildlife.

  • Hi Stuart,
    Have changed the link address, as to us not being out in the storm you know the old song mad dogs and English Men(women) go out in the midday sun, well we go out in the morning storms, Meg thinks the loud bangs are guns going off and she loves that.
    take care.
