Summer WWT

29 June - An unsuccessful scan of the Dumbles for the Little Bustard seen at Slimbridge while I was away - compensation in the form of a perched Hobby, and very good views of Avocets with young on the Rusty Pen - the chicks varying in size from very small, to some closer to fledging. Even the smallest had distinctive upturned bills and were instinctively serving the water. An amazing conservation success story locally. The summering Med Gull also seen on the Rushy.
