Spring at Leighton Moss

We arrived to the calls of Chiff Chaffs and the vibrant sunshine yellow of pollen laden willows.


Things are beginning to look a bit greener!

The day itself was a bit over-cast...the reed reflections though still intrigue me - nature's mark-making.

Moorhen.

An elusive Snipe.

Cormorant - you forget, until you really look at them, what splendid birds they are.

Three Otters - two showing here, put on a good show for us! 

Canada Geese with a swim-by from the Otter.

Pintail.

Mute Swans.

Heron. Again, another bird that you tend not to look at because it's common - spectacular!

Marsh Harrier.
Then down the road to the coast: 

The Avocets are back.

And you'll have to take my word for it - but the small grey blob with the bright red legs is a Spotted Redshank.
