gnipper 6,543 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 The novelty wears off with the noise of the geese and being shit on by one isn't good either. What hotel did you stay at dido? The bold. Peaky blinders bar across the road is ok. Since the kids came along I rarely go out round town now so not sure where to recommend. If you want to see geese though go to Martin mere. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,846 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yeah had a couple in peaky blinders. Gonna take the kids to Martin mere not been for years. Lots of shops shutting down on the main road in Southport, bit of a shame Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of shops shutting down on the main road in Southport, bit of a shame The rents are too expensive, charity shops and pound shops are thriving though.http://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/martin-mere/whats-on/2017/09/30/late-opening-goose-spectacular/ Edited October 7, 2017 by gnipper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,543 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) The whole area is ruined for rabbiting now, not an awful lot of anything else either. I actually saw some rabbits on Friday night though on one field so I'm hoping they can breed like they're meant to and spread a bit.

cragman 2,791 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I like Southport, we have a day there every year. In winter I drive out to arrive just as the geese and wildfowl are arriving, and thats a sight and sound to see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Used to be a nice Italian restaurant on a corner position just off Lord St. Cheers, D. Bolds on the same side just further up towards the fire station. The Prince of Wales is on the other side.
