@TicketmasterUK please could you sort out the dates on the Download Festival tickets in your app? One screen says the festival starts on Friday 13th June (should be 12th) and other screens suggest that weekend tickets are only valid for the Friday (not the full three days).

A very warm day at @WWTSlimbridge today - but we got to see green sandpipers, a young reed warbler, the bean goose and a heron with its lunch - plus all the usual suspects 😊 #GlosBirds

@BritishSpiders Thank you! 😊

[Jools @joolslox]

@BritishSpiders please could you help to identify this spider? Living on my toolbox in my workshop #spider

@SeptmbrMourning The UK!

[Jools @joolslox]

Yes, @TicketmasterUK, something has gone wrong, hasn't it. But it's not my Internet connection! #ticketfail

[Jools @joolslox]

@WWTSlimbridge Thanks both!

Mystery bird seen from the shepherd's hut @WWTSlimbridge today - right at the back of the reed bed, hence the grainy photos. Can anyone help us to identify it? Beak looks too long for a reed bunting, but head too dark for a reed warbler. #GlosBirds

A lovely quiet day @WWTSlimbridge, and we got to see the bluethroat again! #GlosBirds

[Jools @joolslox]

Cannop Ponds today: mandarin duck, little grebes with chicks, kingfisher, tufted ducks, grey and pied wagtails, mute swans, tree creeper, great tits, chaffinches, blackcaps, song thrush, robins, mallards and coots 🦆🐦 #GlosBirds

[Jools @joolslox]

Great day at @WWTSlimbridge, ticked off everything we set out to tick, including the bluethroat, Egyptian geese and a bonus short eared owl ✅😁 #GlosBirds #birdwatching @RareBirdAlertUK

[Jools @joolslox]

Dodging the showers @WWTSlimbridge was definitely worthwhile today - Sparrowhawk, kingfisher, med gull, cranes, spotted redshank, snow goose, marsh harrier and more! #GlosBirds

Birding in the FOD today: 3 hawfinches and a red kite at Parkend, buzzards, a bullfinch and a singing Robin at New Fancy and ten mandarins at Mallard's Pike #Glosbirds

[Jools @joolslox]

Fairly terrible photo, but a redwing feeding on berries in Cooper's Edge, Brockworth. Makes a nice change from the usual magpies and wood pigeons! #GlosBirds

[Jools @joolslox]

Lovely day at @WWTSlimbridge - ruffs, dunlin, curlew, redshank, pintail, golden plover, marsh harrier, teal, pochard, bewicks and godwit to name but a few 🦆🦢 #Glosbirds

It's that time of year when I shamelessly plug my Etsy shop - lots of Christmas gifts available now - https://t.co/kbsxJB6Sm9

@AndyWoodturner So sorry to hear this, thoughts are with you.

The WWT recipe for side salad: mix some tinned beans and chick peas, hack off a couple of chunks of cucumber and the stalky bit of a tomato, get a male colleague to create a "dressing", serve to customer #inedible
