Flaybrick Memorial Gardens, 20th April 2025
It was the only dry and sunny day of the Easter weekend. Flaybrick was once the principal cemetery of the well-to-do merchants of Birkenhead, but it is now closed to new burials and is managed as a historical garden and … Continue reading

Wallasey Central Park, 13th April 2025
We visited this park for the first time last September, on a wet and miserable day, and agreed how much better it would be in spring. We were right, it’s a lovely spot. Flanking the main path are two flat-topped … Continue reading

Princes Park, 6th April 2025
Princes Park is beautiful, especially at this time of year. We found it at its peak of Cherry blossom, making it a very good place for me to continue learning to distinguish the tree varieties, partly by colour and form … Continue reading

Wirral Way, Hooton to Hadlow Road, 30th March 2025
The Wirral Way is a walking and cycling path which runs for 12 miles along the route of the old Birkenhead Railway line from Hooton to West Kirby. We oldies don’t walk for 12 miles of course, just the first … Continue reading

Stanley Park, 23rd March 2025
The Cherry trees are starting to come out everywhere, and we saw both white and pink early blossom trees from the bus. Despite the low cloud and occasional showers, Stanley Park’s “Field of Hope” (a mass planting of Daffodils in … Continue reading

Birkenhead Park, 16th March 2025
We go to Birkenhead Park a lot, but there is always something worth looking at. Today, although the trees were mostly still bare, here and there buds were breaking and a pale green flush of life was gradually creeping over … Continue reading

Landican cemetery, 9th March 2025
It was a mild, sunny, springlike day, and by lunchtime we were taking off layers of jackets and fleeces. But they say it won’t last. We entered Landican by the farmer’s path at the northern edge. The leaves of Cow … Continue reading

Sefton Park, 2nd March 2025
We were on a bit of a twitch, hoping to see a Mandarin Duck and a Gadwall, both having been seen here recently. The southern end of the main lake had Canada Geese, Mallard, Coots, Moorhens, several Tufted Duck and … Continue reading

Rice Lane City Farm, 23rd February 2025
After two warm days that felt like spring, we are back to cold wind and blustery showers. Rice Lane City Farm is on the site of the old Walton Park Cemetery, so little brown Ryelands sheep graze amongst the old … Continue reading

Anglican Cathedral, 16th February 2025
Next to the Anglican Cathedral is a low-level cemetery, formed from the old quarry. We entered it at the south end. It was pretty bleak in February, populated by the usual Wood Pigeons, Crows and Magpies, with a single Wren … Continue reading
