A glorious day, with a better forecast for South than North Cumbria, so down to Leighton Moss. Lots of ducks - especially Pintail and good views of the Bearded Tits (or Bearded Reedlings as they are now called). We even had a Water Rail cross infront of us. Marsh Harriers and a Great White Egret obliged and together with a good variety of smaller species on the bird feeders - a grand day out!
 |
| We didn't arrive particularly early, so a first stop at the grit trays ...yeh! |
 |
| We did get other views throughout the morning...see the next blog! |
 |
| For once the main aggregation of ducks was infront of Lillian's hide ... |
 |
| ...including lots of Pintail. |
 |
| Shoveler, Teal and Snipe. |
