*** Posting to this blog – Please read ***

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.

Report a Sighting

To report a sighting on the St Helens Birds and Wildlife blog, simply send an email to:

 sightings @ outlook .com (without the spaces)
This email will automatically appear as a new post on the blog. The title of your email becomes the title of the blog post, and the body of your email, the body of the blog post. Don't forget to put your name on the bottom of your email, otherwise the post will be anonymous. Don't worry if you make a mistake - this can always be changed later by an admin.

 You can post anything wildlife related that you think will be of interest - the only exception to this is the locations of breeding birds and their nests and in particular Schedule 1 species which are listed here...
