Wednesday 24th June 2015

Managed to fit in a quick visit to Slimbridge this morning, as is usual at this time of year it was quiet on the bird front with the best of the pick being a tatty male Ruff with the remnants of what may have been a stunning white "ruff".

There were at least 25 Redshank and a Common Sandpiper to be seen on South Lake, lots of ducklings around as well as around 60 Avocets of various ages.

A few plants caught my eye including the invasive and tenacious Japanese Knotweed and Hemp-agrimony.

Hemp-Argimony, yes it does look like the plant you can but shouldn't smoke!

Japanese Knotweed!!!!!!!!!!!
