Mark Abram and I headed to Leighton Moss on Thursday night, blessed again with decent weather and lengthening evening daylight. First stop: Public Hide...
Mating Great Black-backed Gulls, 15/05/14, Island opposite Public Hide, Leighton Moss, Lancs.
Next stop: the saltmarsh hides where we met this chap munching on leaves in the brambles by the path.
Bank Vole, 15/05/14, Salt Marsh Path, Leighton Moss, Lancs.
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.
Little Egret, 15/05/14, Eric Morecambe Hide, Leighton Moss, Lancs.
