Wildlife cruises coming to River Mersey where you could spot seals

Families can go on wildlife spotting cruises on the River Mersey this summer.

Mersey Ferries and the RSPB are bringing back the Bird Watching and Wildlife Cruise from July 16 to September 11. People will set sail along the river and out into the Liverpool Bay and hopefully spot a few of the local inhabitants up close along the way.

Previous sightings have included long-tailed skuas, peregrine falcons, osprey, and Atlantic grey seals. There will be experts on board to provide live commentary and answer questions.

Tickets are £20 for adults, £10 for children (aged three-15) and infants aged two and below go free. Find out more and purchase your tickets here. For further details on all Mersey Ferries cruises visit www.merseyferries.co.uk or follow Mersey Ferries on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
