Today it was time to just go out and see some birds - in the sunshine !
Leighton Moss was full of birds. Pintails were present in good numbers ( although not quite as many as there were on the Solway recently ).
Among the many Eurasian Wigeon was a very smart male American Wigeon.
And a female Marsh Harrier perched on the bank behind.
Two Cormorants intermittently preened frantically and roosted with tucked-in heads but eventually showed their gular angles to be almost 90 degrees - making them sinensis race.
Three individual Great White Egrets were present in different parts of the reserve. This one showed distantly but still looking regal.
Another fed along with several Little Egrets.
And then posed nicely ..
Meanwhile a Water Rail briefly popped out of the reeds
