After a relatively bird free long weekend, I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours at Slimbridge this morning with my birder's wife and we managed to catch up with the the female Red Necked Phalarope that has been frequenting the Gloucester area over the past couple of weeks. Other birds present were a few Black Tailed Godwits and a couple of the Somerset Levels released Cranes that have made their way back to the area. Bird of the day has to be though the female Red Necked Phalarope who looked very splendid indeed. That spot will keep me going till our next trip in a couple of weeks time to the New Forest.
