Through a glass darkly

This blog has two main purposes: to share photos and videos of birding in and around Merseyside and occasionally further afield, and to provide useful info on local sites centred upon Marshside, Southport. You’ll find digiscoped photos and videos with a bit of reportage as the main posts; info and resources are in the static Pages section, including Latest Sightings, Marshside Info, and a Discussion area.

We’re gradually merging a lot of the material from Neill Hunt’s site to have a repository (which will include Neill’s rarity gallery, and the butterfly report and sightings page, etc) under the shared url marshsidebirders.com . And we recommend that everyone keeps a daily eye on John Dempsey’s Birdblog – probably the best online birding journal in the world (Theakston’s Best please, John …)

Comments are welcome on any posted item, as well as on the Latest Sightings and Discussion pages. If anyone wants to contribute anything else please get in touch – all contributions are welcome and it’s very easy to post material from flickr and YouTube accounts.
