WWT Slimbridge sightings 22 February 2007

Temminck's Stint at WWT Slimbridge, honest it is! Not saying who took this image as it is so bad. This unseasonal bird has resurfaced after being first seen by James Lees in January.
Again the bird is in the centre. It has not shown all day so you may have a long wait and some serious searching to locate it.
A third year Yellow-legged Gull was also present this afternoon.

The Great Skua was on the estuary and birding in general was very good. At least five Little Stint were also seen along with numbers of Ruff and 500 Dunlin. At the afternoon wild bird feed a Sand Martin flew over JSL, as far as we know this is the first recorded in Britain this year.
