Here’s a quick, mid-week update on Leighton Moss sightings. It’s been a good week, the green winged teal is still here, seen at Tim Jackson hide yesterday. The female smew has also been seen, generally around Lillian’s hide. The glossy ibis seems to have taken up residency in the fields near the railway crossing.
The otters are putting on regularly appearances at Lillian’s, Public and Lower hides throughout the day.
We’ve also had reports of a kingfisher at Lillian’s hide, goldeneye at Lillian’s and Lower hide, a spotted redshank and two red breasted mergansers have been seen in the Eric Morecambe pool, several people have heard the cetti’s warbler.
