Description
The northern footpath out towards the Mersey walks you mostly through agricultural land. Large numbers of Faisan de Colchide can sometimes be seen, as well as Perdrix rouge both presumably released gamebirds, though the native Perdrix grise is also seen here. In winter, Pinson du Nord is occasionally seen, as well as the more common finches and hedgerow birds.
The path alongside the Mersey adds good views of estuary, mudflat and some reedbeds. Waders of various sorts are seen, particularly in winter, when very large counts can occur particularly of Bécasseau variable (sometimes 10,000+) and Barge à queue noire (often 1,000+) and Grand Gravelot (often hundreds), as well as Oie à bec court. Herons and egrets are likely, occasionally Héron garde-boeufs. A telescope can be useful to pick out birds on the mud in the centre of the channel or far shore.
The western path out to the shore goes through woodland where Geai des chênes, Pigeon colombin and Grive mauvis might be found.
