As a Photographer I had little or no interest in wildlife.. But I am slowly moving into Video.. I have already done Salmon leaping but would like to widen my horizon... Maybe a hide but video not photogrpahy .. Any reccomendation north west.. I am Accrington between blackburn burnley and ok to drive out.. retired so my time is my own
 
Leighton Moss for birds and occasional deer.
There’s a nature reserve at Preston near the A59/M6 junction. I’ve never visited but it looks interesting.

Brockholes can be decent, far away from the bird life on the lakes (as a lot of reserves are) but plenty of other stuff to watch/photograph/video

Edit: it's worth a look on their website as they often run reserve walks with different themes (flowers, wildlife, etc.) which are usually weekdays and may be of interest. It's worth following the FB group too

Check out the other LWT reserves as well - they're all worth a look
