Coffee Break along side the canal

Harvesting a crop of leeks

The station and level crossing at New Lane on the Wigan - Southport line

Just of few of the 40,000 pink-footed geese that are passing through the reserve at the moment

Many more geese 

The West Lancashire plain is largely agricultural 


The high fence and the electric fence surround the reserve

More of the pink-footed geese. They will be moving on to Norfolk shortly.
