As the Fylde Coast was thick with fog early this morning I headed up to Leighton Moss to try for Bearded Tit's on the grit trays, there were about 25 showing. Rather than just snapping perched birds I tried Pro Capture on the OM1 mk2, it works very well ! #Lancsbirding @rspbleightonmoss.bsky.social
