| A few highlights from a short visit to Martin Mere and then a drive across west Lancashire to Lunt Meadows. |
 |
| Kingfisher
Can’t recall seeing a Kingfisher made from Lego before – quite an achievement. Lego appears to have come a long way since the early 1970’s when multi-coloured castles and battery powered boats were the height of fashion. Great to see the efforts being made at WWT Martin Mere for the younger visitor |

| Male Smew
One day we’ll find a wild one but for now Martin Mere is the closest we’ve got. |
The 1st Snowdrop of the year
Great to see a few signs of early Spring. This time last week it was snowing. |
 |
| Short-eared Owl.
For once it wasn’t raining so a quick detour on the way home to Lunt Meadows. |
 |
 |
| Perhaps even more dramatic with the backlighting from a rapidly fading sun. |
 |
| Yet again, fortunate enough to enjoy some superb views of a Barn Owl hunting during the late afternoon. |
