WWT Slimbridge sightings 25 February 2007

The third winter Yellow-legged Gull from the Holden Tower. It is reminiscent of Caspian and does show pinkish legs in some lights but also yellowish, especially in the afternoon light. It has a darkish eye, a dark mantle and sloping forehead not rounded with a long bill. It is also thick necked and has an attenuated look, not pot-bellied.
The Temminck's Stint with a Little Stint.
Male Gadwall on the Top New Piece. What a great bird when you get a decent view.
