Common Tern225 viewsI've only ever seen one Tern at Marton Mere, which was this Common Tern, sadly I completely messed up the photo - too much camera movement whilst in a blind panic I think - so I'm left with this Monet like painting as my only shot.Aug 03, 2008

Common Scoter213 viewsWhen I spotted this pair at distance I thought it was a female Ruddy duck alongside a Coot, on closer inspection I realised it was a pair of Common Scoter, my first ever sighting of these birds. Very heavily cropped photos I'm afraid.Aug 03, 2008

American Mink722 viewsIn spring 2007 I was stood photographing the Grey Herons, when suddenly the whole Heronry went wild, making a real racket, it was soon clear what had agitated them when this Mink appeared from the undergrowth & quietly slipped into the water & swam away. It was a fantastic sighting & they're a beautiful animal, what a shame they're such a menace.Aug 01, 2008

Brown Rat573 viewsThe park, somewhat worryingly, had a thriving population of rats up until 2007. They had a series of tunnels at one corner of the lake where it was believed they were breeding. In 2007 the Council destroyed their tunnels & poisoned the rats & I've not seen one since.Aug 01, 2008
