Details of RSPB cruises into Liverpool Bay...last year they scored with long tailed skua, an intermediate morph juv bird which spent several weeks zooming around the entrance to the Mersey off Crosby/Seaforth.
Ever wondered what life there actually is on the ocean wave? Then climb on board an RSPB Aren’t birds brilliant! Wildlife Cruise into Liverpool Bay to find out.
The cruises offer the chance to see the fascinating seabirds and other marine life that make the bay their watery home and promise to be a wonderful experience for everyone from families to seasoned birdwatchers. They head out into Liverpool Bay on Thursdays 18 August, 1 and 15 September.
For the third year running, the RSPB, National Museums Liverpool and Mersey Ferries have joined up to organise three Aren’t birds brilliant! cruises especially for wildlife enthusiasts. Experts will be on hand to answer questions and point out what is to be seen. Passengers can also explore the Liverpool Museum’s Natural History Centre on board to learn more about the local marine life.
Aren’t birds brilliant! project officer Kirsten Whittaker said: “The cruises give people the chance to see something really out of the ordinary – mysterious seabirds rarely glimpsed from the shore. It’s a day out that the whole family can enjoy.”
Last year’s Aren’t birds brilliant! cruises were a great success, with over 600 passengers getting a closer look at bay, which is nationally important for its sea life. A frequent comment from passengers was: “I had no idea so many wonderful birds lived so close to the centre of Liverpool.”
The cruise will pick up passengers from Pier Head, Liverpool, Seacombe and Woodside and the trip will last about three hours. Tickets cost £10 for adults, £5 for children or £25 for families. For more details, or to book, contact Mersey Ferries on 0151 330 1444 or visit www.merseyferries.co.uk
