Wonderous Wildlife at RSPB Leighton Moss:
Leighton Moss is one of the most popular user-friendly reserves around Morecambe Bay.
It has the largest reed beds in North West England and is home to a whole range of wildlife from mammals.
Above all, red deer and otters to birds like bearded tits and marsh harriers.
Earlier this year saw fine starling murmurations and sightings of two bitterns.
