Leighton Moss

A day off! So down to Leighton Moss to hear the bitterns booming...and booming they were. An enjoyable day - we'll have to go back again though to see the Bearded Reedlings, which last week were displaying beautifully in the calm sunny weather - this trip it was too cold and windy ...so an excuse for a return trip! Lots of harriers, Gadwall, Reed Warbler and the usuals....

Marsh Marigolds glowing in the spring sun. 

Just nice ...

Space for Bearded Reedlings! 

Goslings. 

Plenty of noisy activity among the Black-headed Gulls. 

Gadwall.

Shoveller. 

Dab Chick. 

Thee were lots of  harrier fly pasts.
