Well as some of yous may know I went to Leighton Moss on Saturday (1st time ever)...all I can say is I wish I went in spring like I was advised but hey ho av been and a will go back in Spring. 5hr round trip so only natural I was disappointed not to see as much as I wanted but then I always have the devil saying you can see more in your Garden Linda why did you leave it.
I wasn't actually gonna do a post but now am semi out my mood...guess a did see a little more than I thought
So here is what I actually got a glimpse of
Well I heard plenty just never bloody seen them lol..OH said he saw one when we were standing on the watch tower (I think he was just trying to p*ss me off even more
My 1st mash tit..yeah that was the clearest shot possible
Very distant Great white Egret
Chiffchaff everywhere
Aww..cheeky
Much more to see at the Eric Morecambe hide...that's when we eventually found it...no signs and bad directions from a young member of staff!
Lapwing, Godwit, redshank, greenshank, geese..
My 1st Avocet
Well that's your lot, I have a couple of vids a might upload later.
Hope you enjoyed as much as I did
And thanks for looking.
See you in springtime LM!!!
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Best bit was the Mcds on way home.. although closest one was Carlisle
Thanks Wendy..Oh I will get a couple of tiles made for the wall with Avocet and fluff ball
So glad you got to Leighton Moss and managed to see so many lovely sightings; it's a lovely reserve with such varied habitat so a chance of seeing a bit of everything from cormorants with large eels to red deer ! lovely report and photo selection, thanks Linda.
