Glasson Dock, Lancashire

 On Thursday, we visited Glasson Dock on a beautiful sunny spring morning, a lovely area for a few shots of barges, derelict craft (especially like the washing line and pegs), the working Dock and the small church.

Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve

Some images from our visit on Wednesday on a day that started rather dull and rainy but cleared to a beautiful afternoon. a few of the species seen - Shoveller, Egret, Lapwing, Black-tailed Godwits, Pheasants, Redshank. Black-headed Gulls and Marsh Harrier. Still experimenting with Fuji 100-400mm!!

Peregrine at Warton Crags, Lancashire

After a morning at Leighton Moss as part of Gerry's birthday celebrations, we visited Warton Crags and were treated to good views of a Peregrine on the cliffs and a pair in the air - all at quite a distance. The site is shared by a large number of Jackdaws who came tumbling out of the trees and then did impressive formation flying. A pair of Ravens also passed through.

Polemere Reserve Shrewsbury

Polemere is a small nature reserve near Shrewsbury - thanks Jane for sharing this. The weather was less than perfect (frequent rain showers and overcast) for bird photography but a redshank and Lapwing did come close enough for some good shots. The other birds were a bit distant but have included them here for the reserve tick list - Coot bookends, female Teal, Canada Geese, male Teal flying and in water, Tufted Duck, Little Grebe, Widgeon and Greylag goose.

Avoncroft Museum

A quick visit to Avoncroft Museum near Bromsgrove where we are staying as I am lecturing at Worcester Camera Club tomorrow evening. Storm Katie had passed through leaving some beautiful skies and clear light - very different to the last visit
