Had an interesting Friday and Saturday up North. We visited one of our favourite places RSPB  Leighton Moss in  Lancashire Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. A few pictures below from the feeders and one of the Hides. I waded my way through the flooded paths to Lower Hide and was rewarded by seeing two Otters and a couple of Marsh Harriers. Even managed to see a Marsh Tit on the way. On Saturday I caught a fleeting  glimpse of a Bearded Tit (brilliant bird).

Also upgrade my tripod as I had a few problems with the lightweight one I got earlier in the year. Really pleased with this one!

On Saturday we went to Fleetwood (one of the few remaining grounds I haven’t visited watching the Mighty Hatters) for the FA Cup tie. It was certainly a low key affair reminiscent of our non-league days where away fans outnumbered home fans. Sadly we failed to take our many chances and then gave away two sloppy goals. Penalties is a cruel way to lose. Hence the cliché now we can concentrate on the league!
