Osprey Pandion haliaetus Leighton Moss RSPB reserve330 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.

Merlin288 viewstaken from the Eric Morecambe hide @ Leighton Moss RSPB, I didn't even see the merlin hidden away on the fence post until some kind chap with a scope pointed it out to me. I've posted a more heavily cropped version where you can just about make out there is in fact a bird in the photo. My only Merlin photo to date.

Bittern245 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 :-) .
