Good day today, stopped off for a couple of hours at Slimbridge and birds of note were Bewick Swan, Crane, Barnacle Goose, Russian White Fronted Goose, Ross's Goose (assumed escape) and White-Rumped Sandpiper

Good numbers of Avocet, Blackwit's, Dunlin and Lapwing but highlight was watching 1000 Golden Plover going up and swirling as harassed by a Peregrine

These were about the only things in phone photo range which don't have their wings clipped

Sounds like a great visit! My dad gets over to Slimbridge when he can (opportunities are limited by my mum’s Alzheimer’s) and he mentioned the WRS. Or Wiper. Or whatever they are calling it.

Those Bewick Swans are so smart. And you caught a Pintail in that shot.

3 days in a row of seeing Pintail has made me blasé, back to the office tomorrow, I'll be day dreaming of them again by 5pm

First time at Slimbridge and I can understand why your dad would enjoy going there, got some great hides and species
