Slimbridge classic







25 Jan - an excellent couple of hours at Slimbridge - the Holden tower revealed the 2nd year Glaucous Gull (3, copyright Martin McGill), a strikingly white bird with a hint of buff on the wings and a pink bill base. Then the organised walk provided good views of the imm male Snow Bunting on the seawall (photos 1+2, JM). Also seen - 3 Ruff, 3 Spotted Redshanks (4,JM), Black tailed Godwits, Curlew (5, JM) and Redshank, White-fronted Goose, Bewick's Swan and 2 Peregrines on the Dumbles. A Water Rail (6, JM) was briefly under the feeders.
