WWT

16 July - A return visit pre-booked to Slimbridge under the new arrangements. Good views of a selection of waders, especially of quite a few Black-tailed Godwits still in pristine chestnut summer plumage, presumably returning Icelandic birds. The moulting adult Spotted Redshank on the Rushy Pen with the Godwit flock first thing,. Also 11 Green Sandpipers on the Rushy. Several Ruff and juvenile Avocets on South Lake, also LRP, and both LRP, RP and several Dunlin from Zeiss hide.
