We will be meeting at Doctors Nook car park (WN1 1SX) at 7:00am for a strict 7:10am departure and will be parking up on South Parade (CH48 0QG) in West Kirby at approximately 8:15am.
PLAN A
We are governed by the tides today. Low tide is at 8:21am when we can start walking out to the island. If the weather is kind we will stay on the main island over high tide, which I believe is around 10 metres at 1:50pm and we can leave at about 4:20pm to head back to the mainland.
We should see seals, waders, ducks and gulls galore, with our eyes especially peeled for Osprey and Red Kite.
PLAN B ( in case of bad weather)
We'll still walk over to the island but at 10:40am we'll head back to the mainland. Then we'll take in some of the Wirral's other areas of natural beauty to be decided on the day.
There should be plenty of seats available for lifts, but it's a very strict departure time this week, so please make sure you're on time.
If you're planning on joining us please advise either by accepting the invite on Facebook, emailing me on leighos.trips@gmail.com or 'phoning me on 07930948392.

This is a really good opportunity to come and meet members of the L.O.S. both new and old in what is a fantastic part of the North West for birding. And once you've met us, you'll wish you'd done it earlier!
this was another good day out with the club, 28 others enjoyed too. just look at the stuff on facebook, happy folk doing birding and having banter.
