Chester, 5th March 2023
Grosvenor Park was full of early spring blossom, and would have looked magnificent in sunshine, but the day was dull and overcast. The best display was this Cherry-Plum in spectacular flower at the north east corner. There was a Moorhen … Continue reading

Walton Park Cemetery and Rice Lane City Farm, 19th February 2023
It’s been nearly eight years since we were last here, not sure why. The land that is now Walton Park Cemetery was once the Liverpool Parochial Cemetery, then became the burial place of the poor who died in Liverpool and … Continue reading

Flaybrick / Tam O’Shanter, 12th February 2023
There’s not a lot to see at Flaybrick at this time of year, although we visited the Tibetan Cherry and stroked its lovely ruby-red shining bark. Last February we spotted some newly-planted Holly trees, with oddly symmetrical leaves, and thought … Continue reading

New Brighton, 5th February 2023
We walked down from the station to the seafront, where the tide was nearly fully in. The shorebirds can’t access the sand and mudflats then, and they used to gather on the pontoons in the Marine Lake. However, since the … Continue reading

Sefton Park, 29th January 2023
Back to Sefton Park on a mild, overcast day, with an occasional chilly breeze. Just by the path descending to the southern end of the lake was a lovely surprise, a small tree with emerging pink blossom. I think it … Continue reading

Birkenhead Park, 22nd January 2023
It was a cold day for our first Sunday walk of 2023, a few degrees above freezing, but at least it wasn’t slippery underfoot. We had limited choice of where to go because all south-bound buses were diverted and disrupted … Continue reading

West Kirby, 18th December 2022
It has been a very cold week, with freezing conditions around the clock. Today, warm air is said to be coming northwards, driving sleet and rain before it. It had started to hail as I set out this morning. We … Continue reading

Parkgate, 11th December 2022
It was a bright sunny day, but just above freezing, with hardly any breeze. This made for misty conditions on the marsh and over the pools towards the Flintshire shore, with some snow showing on the Clwydian mountains. High tide … Continue reading

Eastham Woods, 4th December 2022
It was a cold and murky day with a penetrating north-east wind and odd spots of rain, but it was calm and sheltered in the woods. The last time we were here was almost a year ago, on 12th December … Continue reading

West Kirby, 27th November 2022
We expected that going to West Kirby would be like a trip to the seaside, but we found lots of digging along South Parade, both north and south of the Dee Lane slipway. The whole walk along the promenade was … Continue reading
