Taken at Leighton Moss 3 weeks ago, heavily cropped pics of Cetti's. The Purple Heron was very elusive. mainly seen in flight then landing out of sight in the reed beds,

The Warblers are Chiffchaffs.

We were over there last week. Heard plenty of Cetti's, often very close to the path along the causeway and down the path to Grisedale Hide but didn't even manage a glimpse.

Well done with the Marsh Harrier. We didn't see one at all when we were there. Though one was reported on a couple of days.

Thanks for the correction Ian (That is twice that I have posted pics of Cetti's that were not Cetti's, I might get it right one day!!).
These were taken just outside the Grisedale hide, there were definitely Cettis calling in the area and I hoped I had found them.
