Osprey Pandion haliaetus Leighton Moss RSPB reserve260 viewsThis Osprey @ Leighton Moss RSPB reserve was feeding on it's catch, which appeared to be either a Roach or Rudd - some observers were adamant it was definitely a Rudd, but how the dickens you can differentiate at such long range is beyond me.

Bittern169 viewsI'd just been photographing a Kingfisher where the channel crosses the causeway at Leighton Moss when I suddenly realised there was also a Bittern sat there in full view. It's a shame the Kingfisher didn't fly up & land on it's beak, now that would've been a good shot :-) .
