It takes us a couple of hours to get the reserve ready for visitors and during this time our Saltholme Guides - volunteers - are looking to see what is about.
At 0915 hrs today Brian took this photo of a Kingfisher on the post at Wildlife Watchpoint Hide which Dean had placed for just such a visit - thanks for the photo, Brian.
Now that the reserve is maturing these birds have more chance of catching a fish so are more commonly seen - but not that often!
During the day Bert and Ian saw little stint, spotted redshank, wood sandpiper and green sandpiper - quite a lot is passing through now we are at the end of the breeding season.
