There are thousands of Black Headed Gulls nesting at Leighton Moss. This angry gull chased a passing Heron away from its nest area.
A pair of Marsh Harriers were seen throughout the day in the distance. This photo of the male was taken from the public hide at Leighton Moss.
The male and female Marsh Harriers were imaged from the same hide in this shot.
Can you see the Marsh Harrier perched on a tree in this shot?
