Decided on a day out today and went to Slimbridge. Sunny Sunday so not a good idea you may think. The car park was rammed when we arrived late morning, usually not a good sign. However the hides were fine and we ended up seeing 44 species, the highlights being a Spotted Redshank, a lingeringTundra Bean Goose, Common Sandpiper, 60 or so Black-tailed Godwits, a very brief Bittern. Reed and Sedge Warblers were a-plenty and v active so getting pix was tricky. Highlight at the end was 4 Cranes seen feeding from the Zeiss hide and then a group of 9 circling above, from the Kingfisher hide. Click here for the full list.
