Repeat Performance

After Tuesday's successful visit to Leighton Moss I decided on another visit yesterday. The weather was still good and I was hoping for another sighting of the magnificent stag seen on Tuesday.I arrived around 2pm and spent the next four hours at the Griezdale hide.It was busy at times in the hide but fairly quiet on the water with only a few teal and gadwall showing well in the afternoon sunshine.From time to time we did have visits from a couple of marsh harriers still present on the reserve.By late afternoon most of the visitors had left and there were only four of us present when once again around 6pm the red deer stag put in an appearance.This time it came from the right hand reed beds and waded across in front of the hide. Three minutes later it had gone but in that short time kept me busy with the camera firing off a salvo of shots. Shown below some of my better efforts and a couple of the harrier and gadwall. Also a general view from the Griezdale hide.Hope you enjoy these further images from Leighton Moss and thanks for looking in.

  6. Brilliant Brian and very much worth the wait, one of my favourite shots is of a Stag wading through a pool at LM from a couple of years ago, a magical place, hope we can get back there soon.
