After my Little Bunting adventure headed to Slimbridge which combined with the high tide was quite productive with a good numbers of waders over the site with a good number of Golden Plover out on the estuary with Dunlin and a couple of Little Stints with them. Around the main hides plenty of interest with a flock of White-fronted Geese which had a single Pink-footed Gooses and had brief view of a Water Rail and a few flocks of Black-tailed Godwits and Lapwings where feeding which got spooked by a Peregrine at one stage. Also nice to see the pair of Cranes which had come home after being releases from the on going crane project.

Then headed to the main swan feeding point to get up close and personally with the Bewick Swans and a few of the Waterfowl including my favourite duck the Pintail
