Grand National walk

Walked along the Leeds Liverpool Canal to try to see the horses as they take part in the Grand National.
Usual duck etc.you would expect to see on the canal plus the four you can see I captured on camera. Lots of Coots and Moorhens.
Just failed to capture a Water Vole (Arvicola amphibius) on camera. He/she was resting on waste at the canals edge.
