My last trip out with the camera was one of my favourite sites, RSPB Leighton Moss. We had taken the long drive up to hopefully see the Otters and Marsh Harriers, and hopefully some of the Red Deer. Sadly we only got to see one of the three, but we had some great views of a Male Marsh Harrier and two females, not close enough for great Photos, but it was magical watching them hunt over the reed beds.

rarely get a chance to get Lapwing shots as they are rarely still, but this one posed nicely

Common and noisy, but I still love photographing Greylags

Lots of Black Headed Gulls, and lots of bickering going on
