After forgetting to charge my camera battery this morning and having no spare with me (thus ending up with a useless camera at Pennington Flash) I decided to take advantage of the remaining sunshine this afternoon to try out my new digiscope adaptor at another location. I chose
Moses Gate Country Park near Little Lever in Bolton, another favourite haunt of mine.

Armed with a freshly charged battery, I set off in the hope of seeing something new or at least getting some good photographs. When I arrived things started off well - I was greeted by a single male
Goldeneye as soon as I got down to the water, and so I started snapping immediately. Here are some of the results:
