WADER FEST AT SLIMBRIDGE

 A quick visit to Slimbridge today produced a good number of waders, mostly on the Rushy Pen. including greenshank, snipe, redshank, spotted redshank, green sandpiper, knot, black tailed godwit and ruff. 

A bonus for the morning was a pair of glossy ibis seen at the waters edge on the Tack Piece. One had been seen yesterday, but today two were spotted, initially feeding apart but then heading towards each other and continuing to feed alongside each other.
