@brianlancastle@AravindRamesh19 Yes Brian I saw the first one as well at Herons Green , unfortunately didn’t see this one because mother in hospital with pneumonia thankfully in recovery now.
@Severnsidebirds@CarolRushton7@bristolbirding @Southglosbirds Saw the Green Sand right ( new Passage side) of main building , it flew over water over bank and into middle of wetlands area .
