A two day stopover at the moss proved to be a good move with a few photo’s of the elusive Bittern,as can be seen from the pics the rain was bleaching down in fact it got that bad we had to close the veiwing windows in the bird hide.You will notice a red ring on its leg this is the bird that was found starving at “Bamber Bridge” near Preston Lancs,it was nursed back to health and released on the Moss. The other photo is of a Little Egret which was hanging around at the time and becoming more common.

A good day out with the grandchildren in the school hols,and lots of interactive things for them to play with.

Holywell pond is a bit quiet at the moment,but I did manage a shot of a Black Tailed Godwit and a Little Ring Plover

A little further afield at St Marys Lighthouse on a lovely sunny morning I managed to capture these two juv Swallows being fed ready for their long flight to Africa.
Also at St Marys were these nice two Golden Plovers and a Redshank.
