Residents and visitors around Morecambe Bay this winter are being encouraged to play ‘Bay Bird Bingo’, by getting the binoculars out and keeping the eyes peeled, for what has been named, in safari-style terms, Morecambe Bay’s ‘Big Nine’ birds.

The initiative, run by Morecambe Bay Partnership, is encouraging everyone visiting and living around the Bay to help protect its precious birdlife, by getting them to learn more about it, value and appreciate it.
