Inspired by the excellent morning spent at Hilbre yesterday in the company of Anthony and Matt(waggie), I decided it must be my turn to organise a meet, so here goes.

I am proposing a meet at the Wilfowl & Wetlands Trust centre at link=https://www.wwt.org.uk/visit/martinmere/default.asp]Martin Mere[/link] in Lancashire. This will probably be towards the end of October, when the over-wintering birds return. I am trying to find out if we can get a guide for part of our visit, for those of us who aren't as good as kit-monster at identifying birds for ourselves. I'll need an idea of numbers, which is why I'm starting this off so early to give you chance to keep it clear in your diaries.

For those of you who have never been, or even heard of Martin Mere, it is one of the most important over-wintering areas for all kinds of geese, with 10,000 Pinkfoot geese being a regular count.

Those interested just leave a note here and as I get more details I'll update the thread.

Saturday October 23rd seems like a good date to start with, we'll pencil that in and see how it fits with the WWT.

Striking whilst the iron is hot

Does this mean that the wife suddenly stopped ironing your shirts? LOL
