Photos from Leighton Moss

Although generally using my binoculars more than the camera this week I still ended up with quite a few photos as we get towards the end of our six day visit.     We've still got  tomorrow to go and have to say the weather has been excellent for November time and really enjoyed our walks around Leighton Moss in the warm sunshine, despite the early and very chilly 1 degree starts.   

I plan to put all the photos on this one thread instead of multiple posts and will add them a few at a time, so bear with me as I sort through the pics !

Firstly, I think a couple of scenic photos showing the salt marsh area which is about a mile from the visitor centre and two photos of the lower woodland area on the main reserve First photo taken from the Eric Morecambe hide early morning ...... and yes it was cold. !! 

Lower woodland area;   the path to lower hide further down is closed at the moment whilst construction of a brand new hide takes place but you can get down most of the lower path and into the woodland.   We have had blue sky each day :)

Back to salt marsh area with Little Egret, Great Egret, Redshank (there was a Spotted Redshank but too far away for decent photo). 

Redshank  ......

female Teal .....

Great Egret  - Folies Bergère ?   LOL !!

Then it was off to the main reserve .............    I will load more pics later
