Incredible views of a Jack Snipe today at Agia Varvara. A great chance to study the detailed plumage of this smart wader + some fly by Common Cranes at Mandria (very few noted through Cyprus this autumn).

I haven't posted about this cos I'm awful at social media. But I'm proud to say that an idea I've had for a few years now is finally happening.
#ProjectPeewit is go go go.
If you see a Lapwing in Wiltshire in the next few months please let us know.

What was your favourite wildlife sighting this month at WWT Slimbridge?
One of ours was the male white-spotted bluethroat which has regularly been seen this month from Middle Point, along the Summer Walkway.

Couple of close shots of the Ruddy Shelduck hanging around on South Lake, hopefully these can help with figuring out what exactly it is 👍 @slimbridge_wild #GlosBirds

AND ANOTHER
At the end of July, @TimJukes4 & others spotted this Black-tailed Godwit (photo 2 Sep 2019👇right) at @WWTSlimbridge. In early August, it was back on the east coast.
