The R.S.P.B. North West Marine Conservation Officer, Clare Reed, and her colleagues, will be at Pickerings Pasture Saturday, 20th August 2011, from 11am until 4pm. They will be in RSPB uniforms and will have telescopes, so they should be easy to find. They are visiting the site to show the public some of the wonderful wildlife that occurs on the Mersey Estuary.

March- May
Herons have again nested at the Decoy. By the 6th March, six grey  herons had built nests and at least two were sitting tight on their eggs. The first young were seen on 29th March. During early May the first two young grey herons fledged from their nest, whilst from at least four nests you could hear the clattering noise of the young, calling for food.

March - May
We were away for most of February so we have included some February  records made by Derek & Marjorie Belton: our thanks to them both. The first snowdrops were seen flowering by the car park during this time.

 The banks of the River Mersey, from Pickerings Pasture to Hale Village, are of particular interest to the Friends of Pickerings Pasture and Hale Duck Decoy. We do our best to help conserve and protect the wild life along the foreshore and on Hale Marsh. Some of our members have been involved in collecting data on the wonderful bird life that visit our area, for decades. We don't want them shot, for sport!

The Friends of Pickerings Pasture and Hale Duck Decoy have had confirmed that the Halton Wildfowlers have bought the lease, owned by the Dutchy of Lancaster, to shoot on the foreshore of the estuary, from Runcorn Bridge to Oglet Lane , in Speke. They have been given consent, by Natural England, to shoot till February 20th, this year. They have applied for a further consent to shoot, over this area, for the next five years. The FoPP are totally opposed to people being allowed to walk along the foreshore, just below Pickerings Pasture, Hale Marsh and Hale Duck Decoy, carrying loaded guns. We have written to Natural England to express our very great concerns.
