male cuckoo, Whixall Moss
juvenile moorhen, Montgomery
Recommend this small nature reserve with a fantastic hide. Lots of odonata! I parked at the lovely Canal Central Cafe , then walked half an hour down the canal, seeing and hearing many birds. This is a flat, easy walk and the cafe is wheelchair-accessible.
