Late at Leighton

20/5/2014

 
Mark Abram and I headed to Leighton Moss on Thursday night, blessed again with decent weather and lengthening evening daylight.  First stop: Public Hide...

Next stop: the saltmarsh hides where we met this chap munching on leaves in the brambles by the path.

Then we watched the water birds until well after sunset: all the usual suspect; Little Egrets, Avocets, Black-Tailed Godwits... all common birds but the atmosphere was magical.
