Simon Emmerson’s Weirdy Birdy Mix
Way back in the dim-and-distant past I worked as a tour manager for some bands I really liked, including Cheikh Lo, and Afro Celt Sound System. Simon Emmerson of Afro Celts has always been a man involved with musical developments that have interested me too, and it was no surprise to find he’s something of a birder as well, with a keen interest in birdsong. These days he’s involved with the team behind Sound Approach to Birding, too. Check out this mix he put together for Folk radio UK.

Welcome …
This blog originally had a grand purpose for birding around Marshside and beyond. The map and info Pages section is still useful for that, but for rolling news of sightings and general discussion that purpose has perhaps been overtaken by the ease of use of other web developments, and I’d particularly recommend taking a look at the Ribble Estuary Nature Facebook Group.
These pages are now a repository for me to share photos and videos of my birding in and around Merseyside and occasionally further afield, and to provide me with an outlet for the occasional rant. You’ll find digiscoped photos and videos with a bit of reportage as the main posts; some useful birding info and resources are in the static Pages section.

For other, more regular, blogs I 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 …) as well as other local blogs of which there are links below. Of these, Colin Bushell’s Ribble to Amazon is currently the most regularly and enthusiatically updated and carries most useful information.
