9 July - an early afternoon visit, and good views from Zeiss hide of the White-tailed Lapwing that was found mid morning. Distinctive brown/buff plumage, with long yellow legs. Associating with Lapwings, and seen in flight with the black/white contrasting wing pattern. A first for Glos and for Slimbridge. Photo, copyright Mabbs/Birdforum. Presumably the bird seen earlier in the week at Rainham, and previously this spring in Holland and at Seaforth.
