The Birding bus goes forth, again..

Having had such amazing weather whilst in Holland it was to much to hope for that the situation  would continue? Yes it was and the winds and rain of the final Bank Holiday weekend was going to prove a real situation to deal with, as the Birding bus carried me northwards to the Lancashire coast and the RSPB reserve of Leighton Moss.
Boy was it wet? a full on English storm with monsoon like rain. Oh well, glad the waterproofs were packed. With the arrival coinciding with a lull in the torrential, it was a quick look around, sans camera, to get a look at the lay of the land. Parked up by the railway bridge down by the Allen hide and settled in for the night.

The species list started to increase,as did the wind and rain.

A lot of fledgling Long-tailed Tits about.

Young Robins were very confident.

One from the day before setting off at Acton Burnell.

Well the weather precluded the cameras getting anything really. So it was a move down the coast to Marsh side and Martin mere.
