Mike Warren. Empty diary so early to Leighton and saw Bearded Tits but no pictures other than contrived on the grit trays. Then to the marsh hides but as tide was low the waders were away feeding.

Mike Warren. Been busy (and or wet) Lovely day at Leighton today but paths flooded, Very little showing - then went to get some drone pictures of the Bela/Kent confluence - it moved a few months ago and is still flowing north into the river which has now abandoned Sandside and shifted north. Snow on the hills. Fancy joining the Landscape Trust - scan the QR code! ... See MoreSee Less
