点评:Newly retired, I took the train for a first-time visit to the sanctuary. As promised on the website, just a few minutes walk from Silverdale station and was well signposted.
I was there before the visitor centre opened, but the 2 staff that were there to greet were very friendly, helpful and informative. RSPB membership was mentioned, rightly, but there was no hard sell.
All staff I met were lovely, I only had a coffee in the cafe which was fine and there are picnic tables.
On the whole, a great visit - yes there are some serious birders, but it is a bird sanctuary and everyone I met as I was walking round was friendly. Visited a fair few of the hides which were well signposted and as it was a Thursday in school term time, not busy.
I was aware of the entrance charge from the website and the half price fee for taking public transport is definitely a bonus!
Well worth a visit and I will definitely be going back.
翻译:刚退休不久,我第一次坐火车去参观了这座保护区。正如网站上承诺的那样,从Silverdale车站步行几分钟就到了,而且路标清晰。
我在游客中心开放前就到了,但接待我的两位工作人员非常友好、乐于助人,而且知识渊博。中心确实提到了我是皇家鸟类保护协会(RSPB)的会员,但并没有强行推销。
我遇到的所有工作人员都很友好,我只在咖啡馆喝了杯咖啡,味道不错,而且那里还有野餐桌。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的参观——虽然有一些资深观鸟者,但毕竟是鸟类保护区,我在四处走动时遇到的每个人都很友好。我参观了不少有路标的隐蔽处,而且因为是学校学期期间的周四,所以人不多。
我从网站上知道了门票价格,乘坐公共交通工具半价绝对是个福利!
非常值得一游,我一定会再来的。
