Brockholes is a new kind of nature reserve, an unreserved reserve owned and managed by The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside.
There are many walks and several different hides and a brilliant visitors centre.
A floating visitors centre with restraunt, shops and loo's
There are several lakes this one is the one that the visitors centre overlooks....
The hide is on the opposite side and this was going to be today's spotting location.
On the way to the hide we managed to get a few shots of catapillars and butterflies. I'll have to do a bit of research to see what their names are;
Meadow Brown
Cinnibar Caterpillar (Red/Black Moth) - It like Ragwort plants
BIRDS SPOTTED
Mallard (Many)
Canada Geese (Many)
Heron x3
Mute Swan and 6 Cygnets
Great Crested Grebe x2
Coots (Many)
Gulls - Black headed x3 Others (Gallacious?)
Wood Pigeon
Magpie
