Leighton Moss and Over Wyre

Good weather.  Started off at Leighton Moss looking for Bearded Tit.  They weren't on the grit trays but were flitting either side of the path.  A small flock seemed to be on the move and we saw 4 flying extraordinarily high over head - there was even talk of an 'irruption'.  Later on in the day we heard a Bearded Tit calling from a tree on the hillside overlooking the Morecambe Bay pools - god only knows what the hell they were doing there!  Anyway..at Leighton we saw Curew Sandpiper and 3 Spotted Redshank.  These were the best views of both species to date.  Also we saw 2 Great White Egret at the site overlooking the pools and Stuarts new Swarovski ATX 70x95 really came into play here!  The resident Spotshank was at conder with 3 Snipe and 2 Ruff.  An adult and a FY Mediterranean Gull were over the road from the Conder (what ever that place is).
