  • Wirral Walking Festival 2021
    Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Wirral Walking Festival 2021 The Wirral Walking Festival, that would normally take place during May, is promoting local walks in a slightly different format this year. The Covid-19 restrictions ‘roadmap out of lockdown’ published on 22nd February means that social distancing will be in place until 21st June at the earliest. Therefore we’re not presenting a chronological list of guided walks, but are instead focussing on ‘signposting’ to groups such as The Ramblers and Wirral Footpaths and Open Spaces Preservation Society who have an annual programme of walks. Have a look at the contributors’ websites and perhaps join one of the local groups and (when you can) join them on one of their walks and discover the historic towns and villages and diverse landscapes that make the Wirral Peninsula such a wonderful place. Health Walks, Buggy Park Fitness and Run in Wirral are currently going ahead but please check their websites and social media for updates. Feedback is important to allow us to continue to improve and develop the programme so please contact the Wirral Walking Festival Coordinator: [email protected] Many thanks to Hazel Thomson who has once again allowed us to use one of her paintings for the festival brochure cover. To see more of Hazel’s art please visit her website at: http://www.hazelthomsonart.com/ Wirral Walking Festival 2021 Many of the walks offered by the different groups featured in this brochure will be accessible to people with limited mobility. Please check with the To find accessibility group if you have specific information for Wirral sites requirements including please visit: wheelchair access or are unable to step over stiles.

Duringthe 1986/87 to 1990/91 period, 3-5 voluntarywardens patrolledthe West Kirby beach on 339 occasionsin an attemptto reducethe level of disturbanceto roostingwaders. Whilst doing so, the types and frequencyof potentialdisturbances, details of actual disturbancesand the numbersof each wader species usingthe beach have been recorded.Walkers and dogs were the main sourcesof disturbance,the potentialfor disturbancehaving increasedand diversified duringthe period. Potentialdisturbance rates were significantlygreater on weekend visits. Dogs and walkers were responsiblefor most of the actual disturbancesrecorded, though there was no evidence that the frequencyof actual disturbanceshad increased. Most types of disturbances resultedin waders leavingthe West Kirbybeach on occasions,and Grey Plover, Knot, Dunhn and Bar-tailedGodwit most commonlyleft the estuary altogetherwhen disturbed.The majontyof wader species have increasedat West Kirbyduring the period despitethe potentialfor disturbance having increased. This may be due to a successfulprogramme of interventionand education by the voluntary wardens. J.S. Kirby, The Wildfowl& Wetlands Trust, Slimbridge,Gloucester, GL2 7BT, U.K. C.
