Osprey Pandion haliaetus Leighton Moss RSPB reserve168 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.

Bittern96 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 :-) .

Stoat80 viewssee the two shots aside of a stoat with it's prey, which is a Redwing, the Stoat dropped the Redwing when it saw me, I moved back a safe distance & when I returned to check the Redwing had gone, so the stoat had obviously returned & carried off it's spoils.
