2 February - a morning visit to Sharpness proved successful at the second attempt, giving good views of the Black Redstart in calm sunny conditions. Moving on to Slimbridge, the Temminck's Stint was the only wader present on the pool in front of the Holden Tower (lower, photo copyright Graham Bullivant). Bewick's Swans were giving very close views on the Rushy Pen (middle). Crickley Hill on the way home revealed c120 Bramblings under the beech trees near the car park, but surprisingly wary amongst the leaf litter (upper). Finally, late afternoon at Blakehill produced a pair of Peregrines flying over, and a distant perched female Merlin (top, photo copyright Steve Burch).
