In the November '14 edition of the BBC Wildlife magazine there was an article about urban wildlife. It covered several British cities, including Liverpool which had a full page spread. A full paragraph covered Hale Marsh and Pickerings Pasture under the title WILD CITY HOT SPOTS. It reads as follows:
|
HALE MARSH AND PICKERING'S PASTURE.
These two little-known wildlife areas are sandwiched between Liverpool Airport and Widnes. Hale Marsh attracts growing numbers of little egrets and black-tailed godwits, while Pickering's Pasture is renowned for its variety of butterflies and dragonflies, as well as summer wildflowers including marsh orchids. |

Other places mentioned include the RSPB reserve at Southport, a National Trust reserve at Formby, a Lancashire Wildlife Trust reserve at Seaforth and other smaller reserves and parks.
The BBC Wildlife magazine is a good read: with articles promoting conservation and wildlife concerns both in Britain and world-wide. Occasionally there are back copies of the magazine to browse at the pop-up café.
