The object of this small website is to show examples of the many and varied species of birdlife to be found both in and the around the Hodbarrow RSPB reserve,and also the outlying areas of gorse and heathland.
The site will be divided into the main groups of birds,which will be listed in accordance as to the habitat where the species are most likely to be seen .With separate sub pages for photos .
I will also include a few items of local interest which will also include some of the various activities which take part in our small
village.
This website is not displayed in the usual website format,ie a square image with a group of photos with a link on each photo.please scroll down the full length of each page,ie there are more photos on each page ,not just the 1st one which shows when the page is opened.
The pages are listed on the left side of the screen.When you click on one of the pages e.g farmland birds,you can then open the sub pages in that group.
