@slimbridge_wild today at the Zeiss hide, a rather nice surprise. Always something to see @WWTSlimbridge

[Malcolm Black @MalcolmSBlack]

Sunny day so let's go for a walk in the forest @VisitDeanWye @BTO_GLOS . Lots of Crossbills and Redpolls and a fair number of Suskin too.

Fine morning @slimbridge_wild today. Family groups of White Fronts and Bewicks dropping in. And lots else, golden plovers, dunlin curlew, teal, pintail, wigeon etc etc

@ActonCourt Like the colour popping in the photo too

Counting the gathering birds on the Noose, #Severn at high tide when, once again, a leisure helicopter flushes all the birds, why land on the sands of a SSSI, SPA, SAC, Ramsar site. @GlosAirport would you know who the irresponsible pilot is? #CAA

From mid June a few photos from Swaledale

[Malcolm Black @MalcolmSBlack]

At long last got round to processing the photos from my annual mid-June Dales holiday. The few are from Wensleydale along the Ure near Castle Bolton or in Apedale on the moors to the north.

Seems the Carrion Crow fancied a 'poached' Moorhen egg for breakfast.

Stepped out into the garden at 06:27am, still dark, a Skylark belting out the full song 'up there' somewhere. Delightful.

@philjgower Nice shot. And I agree; Topaz Denoise AI is really excellent

@BarnOwlCentre Two weeks ago in South Gloucestershire

[Malcolm Black @MalcolmSBlack]

A relatively quiet day @slimbridge_wild @WWTSlimbridge today as preparation for winter wildfowl proceeds. But a nice sunny walk to Middle Point seeing a pair of very friendly wheatear and several flights of dunlin.

@jonpblack That's more managers than the first team squad. That said Hughton is probably a good choice to get the best from your first team.

@DalynDigital @slimbridge_wild @WWTSlimbridge @BTO_GLOS @GlosBirds Just a matter of luck being there Dave. Got some similar at the Martin Smith in 2014.

[Malcolm Black @MalcolmSBlack]

Today @slimbridge_wild @WWTSlimbridge a snipe lurked in the shadow. Then in a flurry of brown it became a sparrowhawk. Then.....oh! One of my favourite birds was lunch for one of my favourite birds. @BTO_GLOS @GlosBirds

@KenGoodwinITV @Riverdweller1 @slimbridge_wild @WWTSlimbridge @BTO_GLOS @GlosBirds Ken,
I think it might not be rare at places like @WWTSlimbridge . In 2014 I photographed a female SH doing the same at the Martin Smith hide.

@jonpblack @slimbridge_wild @WWTSlimbridge @BTO_GLOS @GlosBirds Thanks J. Lucky to be there. All over in a couple of seconds.

@jonpblack Inexplicable. But they'll improve.
