Welcome to the St Helens Birds and Wildlife blog. We welcome your reports from across the borough regarding all forms of wildlife. Please click on the "Report a sighting" tab if you would like to contribute to this blog.

We ask that you refrain from posting exact breeding locations of any species which may be considered scarce or vulnerable, and in particular schedule 1 species. In the context of St Helens, schedule 1 species usually means kingfisher and little ringed plover. Little ringed plover should not be reported at all on this blog between 1st May and 1st August.

Scarce or vulnerable species include but are not restricted to any species of wader, ducks other than mallard, all owls, any birds of prey, grey or yellow wagtails, grey heron, all grebes, Cetti’s warbler, water rail, willow tit, corn bunting etc. If in doubt, please ask.

We reserve the right to edit or delete posts which contravene this rule.

Tweet us on Twitter @sthelensbirds

Hi Everyone out there,

I am really pleased to see this idea begin to take off (pun intended!)

I have also set up a twitter account for the blog so that we can instantly report sightings from the field as they happen.

If you use Twitter please feel free to follow @sthelensbirds for live sightings

See https://twitter.com/sthelensbirds for the twitter feed.

I feel that this could be a really useful resource in the event of a rarity showing up enabling us to get the news out far faster than before.

For those of you that do not have access to Twitter on your mobile phone fee free to contact me for my phone number so that you can simply text me your sightings.  I can then arrange to get them on the Twitter feed ASAP.

My email address is bradinho8 "at" hotmail.com

Bye for now and Happy Birding
