Being so busy packing means having to fit in any natural history when I can, today I popped along for an early visit to Slimbridge WWT. Five Green Sandpipers on the Rushy are a sure sign that in the natural world the year is moving on as these birds will be returning south from the breeding grounds in the Artic, sadly because I forget the adaptor to use my phone on the telescope no decent pictures trying to hold the phone steady didn't really work for these birds. At the Robbie Garnett hide a Little Egret was a better target so despite no adaptor and therefore too much light getting into the phone a half decent result. Little Egret There were plenty of Orchids in flower with this Common Spotted Orchid being just one of the species on show
