Pretty chuffed with getting a good long view of the White Rumped Sandpiper #wwt #wwtslimbridge #glosbirds #slimbridge #birdwatching

@lesatledbury @kenh2615 Anywhere in the forest you recommend? Been to the view point at new fancy but that's about it

[NewWildlifeSpotter @spotter_new]

I have a full day to dedicate to go birding/ wildlife spotting in Gloucestershire or near by, coming up soon. Any recommendation? Not Slimbridge as I am a member there and go quite often. Happy to travel to a few different sites. #glosbirds #birdwatching #ukwildlife #glos

[NewWildlifeSpotter @spotter_new]

@kenh2615 Could go between them all day with ease. Thanks for the heads up

Great little ride back from My to Oban watching the Gannets diving for fish.

On the Isle of Mull, plenty of bird life around, seen a couple of glimpses of Sea Eagles but nothing good enough to photo. So here is a scope photo of some seals! #isleofmull #mull #wildlife

Anyone able to help ID this Caterpillar? Found it under my camp chairs on the shore of Loch Lomond. @MOTHIDUK @Lucy_Lapwing @BBCSpringwatch @wildscotland

Redshank I think... @WWTSlimbridge this afternoon, photo through the scope. Getting use to the kit before heading to Mull in a few weeks.

Messing around with the @vikingoptical scope and my phone to take photos. #scopephotography #birdwatching #learning

@Nickgoatman Brilliant thank you, will go over in the week for a proper mooch

[NewWildlifeSpotter @spotter_new]

@PaulDMasters @kenh2615 Thank you! It had just finished mating with a blue one so that would make sense!

[NewWildlifeSpotter @spotter_new]

Few shots from the weeks micro twitches. Anyone know the damselfly ?

[NewWildlifeSpotter @spotter_new]

Had a Micro twitch at Horsebare. Mute Swan and juvenile, copy and Juvenile, 2 Moorhen, 20+ Goldfinches and this little Wren. #GlosBirds #wren #binophoto

@alunited1234 @vikingoptical Mull then the Glencoe area ATM. But we still have about a week's worth of camping to add.

[NewWildlifeSpotter @spotter_new]

Treated myself ready for a Scotland trip with some @vikingoptical kit. Next week will be on a farm in Wales. Going to try & get used to the scope. Amazed the difference a good pair of binoculars makes compared to my Amazon ones! #wildlifewatching #birding #vikingoptics

[NewWildlifeSpotter @spotter_new]

I think this is a Grey wagtail? Sorted at @WWTSlimbridge #birdguides #birdwatching
