Another fairly fruitless foray out of the county, this time to Lancashire to try for the obliging bitterns we’d heard so much about. Unfortunately, our luck wasn’t in and although we did see bittern briefly, we were unable to photograph it or the short-eared owls we’d been tipped off about!! Oh, well! We made a few images of a pair of great crested grebes that were in the throws of nest building, plus a late staying goldeneye. Here are a few shots from the trip.
