The late afternoon light yesterday on the Rushy Pen at Slimbridge @wwtsightings.bsky.social was lovely. Lapwing, Snipe, and even the resident Mute Swans all showing beautifully!

Looks like the juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper relocated from WWT Slimbridge to Saul Warth, at least for now. MLK spotted it among the small waders whilst we were sifting through the rather nervous and flighty flock. Lovely to have time to enjoy watching it at leisure on a day off. #GlosBirds

@wwtsightings.bsky.socialTop New Piece- additional sightings of 2 Marsh Harrier and Buzzard, 2 Little Stints, 10 Knot and 5 Golden Plover #WWTSlimbridgeSightings #GlosBirds
So focused on getting news of Pectoral Sandpiper out, forgot all about the Guillemot that was on the Severn off the Dumbles earlier. If it's the same long stayer, this is notable, it must be finding food. #GlosBirds #WWTSlimbridgeSightings
@mikebirding2024.bsky.socialStroud. Fromebanks river & canal. A Dipper with leg rings (1 of at least 2) & unusually a L Egret on the river. Lots of Grey Wags and a Kingfisher on canal near SB #Glosbirds plus 8 acr and 3 pbr. Can't people take them home & act responsibly? Ridiculous
@wwtsightings.bsky.socialTop New Piece- juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper, 18 Ruff, 2 Golden Plover with the Lapwing and a flock of Cattle Egret with the Longhorn cattle. #WWTSlimbridgeSightings #GlosBirds More details here www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-cent...
Juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper, Top New Piece, viewable from Zeiss Hide, feeding with Snipe in the taller vegetation, beware of the small reeves that are also out here. #GlosBirds #WWTSlimbridgeSightings

@tangrigg.bsky.socialHad a quick walk around the reserve this morning, the kingfisher was sat on his usual perch as I approached the Martin Smith hide, he caught and ate 4 small fish then sat for a while😊 4 Garganey on the rushy and 40 of the 52 cattle egrets with the longhorns 😊 @wwtsightings.bsky.social #GlosBirds
