Leighton Moss

Wednesday 7th September a.m.
 I had another run out today going to Leighton Moss on the West coast near Morcambe Bay where I spent the morning in the Eric Morecambe and Allen hides.After a dull start the sun came out with a temperature starting at 20°C the conditions were good for taking some pictures, so of course I did. The dominant birds were waders these included Avocet,Ruff, c100 Lapwing,c200 Redshank,c25 Snipe,35 Little Egret,Spotted Redshank, 10 Greenshank,Black-tailed Godwit and Oystercatcher. There were high numbers of Teal and Wigeon also Cormorant and Grey Heron were present and I even had a Kingfisher fly past, a great morning well worth the journey.N.P.
