Long-tailed duck 1 (1st winter)

Spotted redshank 2 (from the Eric Morecombe hide)
We arrived at Leighton Moss in appalling conditions, heavy rain, strong winds and dull. I couldn't imagine us seeing anything good today, but within 30 minutes it had cleared away and ended up a reasonably nice sunny day, if a little on the windy side! The birds performed really well, only bearded tits failed to show.
Male marsh harrier.
