We were not so lucky with the weather this month with cloud and light rain for most of the morning. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable visit for the six members who attended. The visitor centre and the car park have been much improved since our previous visits to Mere Sands but unfortunately several of the hides have been vandalised and only two were available for use. A total of 21 species were recorded.
