What's been seen at our reserves?

The wildlife at our nature reserves changes with the seasons. Spring and summer bring clouds of amazing insects along with migratory birds, autumn heralds spectacular starling murmurations, and winter sees red squirrels foraging out in the open when food is scarce.

The species you see one week may have disappeared the next, so stay up to date using our latest sightings blogs, below. You never know when a rarity will arrive to join some of the North West's most amazing wildlife.

If you've spotted something exciting on a recent visit, don't forget to share it with us, too! Every sighting you report helps us monitor the wildlife on our reserves, track changes over time, and keep these habitats healthy for the wonderful range of species living in them.
