Today is Morecambe Bay Day 💙

We launched Morecambe Bay Day back in 2024 to mark the 250th anniversary of the first time the words ‘Morecambe Bay’ appeared on a map in 1774. Since then, each year in October, in the week closest to World Migratory Bird Day, we encourage schools and our Bay communities to look with fresh eyes at this amazing place we all call home, celebrate the Bay, learn about it’s nature and heritage, take action to care for it, and raise funds to help nature, heritage and community projects.

On this day of celebration, we want to share the 'Magic of Migration across Morecambe Bay' from Morecambe Bay Podcast. Enjoy the wonder of the Bay and connection to nature 💙

Say hello to Tony Pickard, one of 12 photographers featured in the 2027 'Love Morecambe bay' fundraising calendar.

Tony has been a professional photographer for about 14 years. He says 'although wedding photography and portraits are my mainstay, I do love all other aspects of photography especially landscapes. My photo of St Peters Church in Heysham was taken early morning in spring.'

You can find more of Tony's work on his website here: www.tonypickard.co.uk

Thank you to Tony and all the other photographers (amateur and professional) who have been very generous in allowing us to publish their work in our fundraising calendar.
