A bit of a story at @slimbridge_wild On the Estuary Tower we saw this Peregrine take a Wigeon. Not a clean kill. The Wigeon was on the ground. The Peregrine then flew around, in the rain, waiting for the Wigeon to expire. Then the Perigrine flew in and took it away. #GlosBirds

@Heather24623189 @slimbridge_wild Thanks … air breaks down … beautifully landing

@Light_Obsession @slimbridge_wild Quite Beautiful 🤩

A sunny day @slimbridge_wild watching the Bewick's Swans arrive for the feed in the fading light. Maisie making an entrance. #GlosBirds

After a couple of sessions looking at dead leaves from the Zeis hide @slimbridge_wild @WWTSlimbridge 11 Oct ... A bittern and even a picture showing it's unusual eye position #GlosBirds

A sunny day @slimbridge_wild Sat 25th. The Bean Goose visited the South Lake and had a bath #GlosBirds

A family day out @WWTSlimbridge ... but don't get too close to the Avocets .. #GlosBirds

@wimble33516 @HawkConservancy thanks ...

@Light_Obsession @HawkConservancy Wow😍

We were @HawkConservancy Thursday, it was great watching Hugo fly Saxon the Golden Eagle in the dying light of the afternoon. You could see the mutual trust and respect between them. Ok a bit of food too. Saxon flying looks like the bigger of pair.

@HawkConservancy thanks ... great birds and great flying

@Light_Obsession Great shots!

We had a great time @HawkConservancy watching Owls in the sun. It was cold, but that suited the Snowy Owl. So good to see the birds flying in the sun. A great day out.

A good day @slimbridge_wild yesterday. With the 300+ Godwits we found this ringed one. Originally ringed June 2022 Iceland,S Ice, Árnessýsla,Stokkseyri,Skipar

Not the best of weather at @slimbridge_wild . But it was still a good day. First two Bewick's arrived 3rd Nov, Primero and Piquet, not sure which one this is. #Glosbirds

It may not have been the best of weather @slimbridge_wild yesterday, but the juvenile Spoonbill was getting ready, before going back to sleep ... #Glosbirds

There were 27 Snipe on the island @slimbridge_wild on the Rushy Thursday. This seemed to produce lots of 'interaction' and some of the tallest Snipe that I had ever seen. #GlosBirds

A sunny day @slimbridge_wild with a grownup Ruby's offspring, a very light Buzzard and a drying off Snipe. #GlosBirds

Something I'd not seen before is a Spotted Redshank struggling to swallow a fish. Eventually it did. On the Rushy @slimbridge_wild #GlosBirds . Will it eventually produce a pellet like a Kingfisher? No wonder they spend so much time sleeping.

A good trip @twfordwater Saturday... Great to steam in use. Some pictures from an enjoyable trip.

A bit of rain @titchfieldhaven did not stop the Great White Egret from flying

From a few days ago when it was sunny @slimbridge_wild a Blacktailed Godwit drying off ... its amazing how all those feathers go back into place #GlosBirds
