Does your birding count?
Do you want your birding to help conserve the birds you are watching?
Birds face many threats today and one of the best ways to conserve them is to know how many there are.
The Mersey Estuary is Britain’s 10th best wetland for birds. We know this because each month we count the waterfowl as part of the national Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS). However, we need new, reasonably fit, birders to help.
You don’t need to be an experienced wildfowl counter, though you should be a good birder, able to identify most waders and wildfowl. If you think you can help please email me at dermot.smith71@gmail.com
