Slimbridge shots
We went camping with Rob, Nadine and Evie and has a lovely time - and as we were in the area Anna & I went to Slimbridge. Amongst the zoo like bird pens there was a 'wild' Ruddy Shelduck - just got to find it and get a pic before it flew off (showed it wasn't clipped!)
A cracking site of a Snipe quite close to one if the hides was a nice sight

Finally - SPOTTED CRAKE!!!
What a strange weekend - supposed to be on Chris's stag do, fell sick so up and down to Harrogate...
word came out via Birdguides and Steve Rodwell kindly gave me a bell - then today after tracking back and off to Wilstone, I finally connected with a SPOTTED CRAKE lifer # 279 (removing White Wagtail as its a sub-species of Pied Wagtail)

Yet another Spotted Crake Dip...
On the way up to a sales meeting I stopped off at Lyddington in the hope of a SC - no chance.
