Wet Weekend Wanderings

11/5/2014

 
Rainy, windy weather would normally root me to the house, but there had been enough rarity reports on "Birdguides. com" to lure me and Eddie out yet again.  First stop was Aldcliffe Marsh near Lancaster to see if the Woodchat Shrike was still around...

Kestrel, 10/05/14, Aldcliffe Marsh, Lancaster. On parking the car we were greeted by this bird, hovering nice and close.

Roe Deer, Aldcliffe Marsh, Lancaster. No sign of the Shrike, but other wildlife made up for it...

Mute Swan, 10/05/14, Aldcliffe Marsh, Lancaster, with Ashton Memorial in the distance.
Next stop: Leighton Moss to see if the spoonbill would play ball.  This time we struck lucky as this specimen politely waited for our arrival, albeit distantly.
