Deep within the heart of the Dee Estuary is an oasis of wonder and wildlife and never more so than in autumn. Summer's vibrant green has gone, and oranges and reds now set the tone at RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands near Neston, on the Wirral peninsula.

It stretches from the tip of South Africa right through to the Arctic Circle.

At first, it’s soft and distant, rapidly growing louder and closer as a squadron of geese appear overhead in their characteristic V-formation: ‘Wink-wink, wink-wink’.

A west country man through and through, Devon born and bred chef Merlin Labron-Johnson cut his teeth working with Simon Hulstone in Torquay and Micheal Caines in Exeter before flying off to work at a ski resort in Switzerland, The Albert Premier Hotel in France, and In De Wulf in Belgium. Eventually, London – and the brains behind the modern-day Quality Chop House – came calling, and in 2015, Labron-Johnson opened Portland in Fitzrovia to mega Michelin-starred acclaim.
