Description
Mere Sands Wood is a Lancashire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve. Keep your eyes peeled for species like Mugurar, Vrabie de câmp, Ciocănitoare pestriță mare and Uliu păsărar as they fly to and from their nests in the woodland. If you take a seat in one of the lakeside hides you may see Corcodel mare performing their elaborate courtship ritual. Pescăraș albastru are present as well as wintering Buhai de baltă. The lakes and reedbeds also support Cârstel de baltă, Presură de stuf, Rață sunătoare, Rață cu cap castaniu and more.There are multiple hides, and it's easy walking.
