Slimbridge

17 Nov - A superb sunny day with lovely low light. Good views of 2 Jack Snipe from Martin Smith hide, on exactly the same island as I saw the bird a month ago. Despite the sun, no sign of the Bittern on a vigil from Zeiss hide, but nice views of waders including Golden Plover, Curlew and Lapwing as well as a group of Common Snipe and Black-tailed Godwits. The duck including Teal, Wigeon and Shoveler looked stunning in the sun. 2 Peregrines causing chaos amongst the waders.
