Summer Wildlife at Scotmans Flash, Wigan

With an hour to spare, I took my Fuji XH1 coupled with the superb Fuji 50-140mm lens to a wonderful wildlife oasis in Poolstock, Wigan, where the Leigh Branch of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal weaves through the Greenheart Flashes created years ago by collapsing mineworkings.

This is now a haven for birds of all kinds, so today I created images with Canada Geese, Greylag Geese and their Goslings, Swans and a nesting pair of Crested Grebes.
