Slimbridge again


1 November - a trip to Slimbridge didn't really produce anything unusual - no Water Pipit or Jack Snipe seen, though one of the Meadow Pipits was much paler on the underparts than the rest of the flock...a Bittern was reported but not seen again. The first Bewick's Swan of the autumn was finally on the Rushy Pen. Also seen 55 Black-tailed Godwits, 3 Dunlin and a Little Stint, and a Water Rail out in the open briefly. The Egyptian Goose was still on South Lake.
