GB50LM Leighton Moss 50th Anniversary

On August 23rd, 24th and 25th, members of the Sands Contest Group from Morecambe, will be holding a special event station at Leighton Moss Nature Reserve at Silverdale, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Leighton Moss.

Leighton Moss is the largest reed bed in north-west England, and home to some really special birds such as breeding bitterns, bearded tits and marsh harriers. You might see deer and otters too, not to mention butterflies aplenty

Leighton Moss has not been activated as a nature reserve for World Flora Fauna before, so this will be a great opportunity for collectors of WFF, a lovely card has been produced from photograph’s taken on site, please see QRZ.com for details

We will be operating from 09.00- 17.00 each day on 20 and 40 mts
