Its true they never ever ask for RSPB membership at Leighton Moss. But I think that is quite deliberate they want people to buy in that shop and the cafe. The shop seems to get bigger every year and its looks to be very profitable. If they were very strict on membership it might get less footfall through the shop. I don't know but that would not surprise me plus I guess the more the speculative punter comes through families and so on more opportunty to sell RSPB membership which would not the case if just RSPB members were allowed in. Its obvously a well run enterprise and I think there is a plan to it all.

Already there's nowhere near enough weekend parking space at LM because many rambling clubs park there all day and go off walking.
Easy stop the ramblers ,make it members only car park,as many that do birdwatch at leighton moss arn't even rspb members,beacause no one ever chalenges anyone for a membership card there,which in my oppinion,should start happening.

I agree - if anything the south side (boat club end) of the flash is underrated and underwatched - easily Bittern could be there, and also the likes of Waterrail - as Ian says it's a favourite for dog walkers but not really birders - who knows what the forest at that far side might attract too?

no worries pete nowt to be sorry for,i can see your point of view as well as mine. Penny is a place that many find too overcrowded,and it takes a lot of getting used to,even I end up sometimes giving up and going to the mossesbut it always amazes me how many birders do that little circuit around the hides and bypass the top of rammies,where most of the wildfowl are when the boats are on,and how many go right round or to plank lane every visit?,I could count on one hand,and thats only when penny is seen at its best,when the whole area is covered. People pressure at penny is getting a lot worse,price of petrol puts people off going distances,and so many flats without gardens,means to a lot of people ,penny becomes thier garden,and bit of fresh air. I am one of the few who can block everyone around me out and just enjoy the birds,and if it does get busy i head for the south bank and just sit and watch,if you have been to martin mere or leighton moss recently at the weekend,you will see that people in large numbers can still mean great birds like bitterns etc si thi ont moss John

No seclusion on the south side of the flash? Maybe not on a weekend Peter but you can't really expect much else when such a large populated area all tries to enjoy their days off in one of the few open areas designed for public use.
I regularly cover the south side of the flash during the week and never meet another birder and rarely more than a small handful of (very pleasant) dogwalkers.

If I was a Bittern I would not be anywhere near the place there is really no seclusion even down by the sailing club. Wheras just down the road you have Wigan Flashes / Lightshaw which must appeal more to any shy Bittern
There are many places at pennington that could easily hold half a dozen bitterns and you would never know,and id guess there is at least one present most winters.Its still the manchester premier site,and for viriety cannot be beaten anywhere in the county.

Ramsdales, Teal and Tom Edmonson hides are usually good for a variety of ducks and the Goosander can sometimes be seen from there, particularly Ramsdales and Teal hides. The female Pintail thats been around for a few months now is usually seen either in Ramsdales or Tom Edmonson hides.
If its the duck species you're after seeing the most then a visit on a Saturday afternoon can be good as the all the yacht activity often pushes all the ducks in front of Ramsdales hide.

The best place to see ducks in all their glory, including Pintail and possibly Goosander would likely be Ramsdale hide. I'm going off: A) It just is likely and B) A pintail was here last time.
Also, I imagine Tom Edmonson hide would be good for either species.

I couldn't agree with you more Keith, £1.20 is a bargain. I was there this morning with my daughter and saw most of the birds on your list with the exception of the lapwing and gadwall. We met some nice people one of which let us look through his scope at the scaup. I jad a nice chat with a chap in the bunting hide whilst watching some of our first smaller birds such as bullfinches, willow tits and greenfinches of the year. Nice to see so many birds and birders and it only cost £1.20 and 2 cups of hot chocolate
