Two from #Slimbridge and two from #Wiltshire during the week - White Bryony, Bristly Ox-tongue, Meadowsweet (with a rather splendid #beetle which I think is a Spotted Longhorn Beetle) and Ragwort (plus a Small Skipper #butterfly). #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

White-spotted Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica cyanecula) was the star of the morning - fantastic views of this smart male. Fabulous and uplifting to see. Even the elegant Black-winged Stilt and Avocet couldn't match it!

A Chilean flamingo carefully preening itself at Slimbridge WWT.
I saw a flamingo in the wild once...Well, when I say "wild", I mean it had escaped from a zoo in Suffolk. Does that count? 😉 I couldn't get this close, though...

Eurasian teal, male
Sleeping away the afternoon. This is Britain's smallest breeding duck. They're normally quite shy, so I've not managed a good photo of the ones in Stockport, but this one was not bothered by being right next to a hide.

The rather splendid Bewick Swan - good looking and a long distance winter migrant to the UK. The Ross's Goose is still at Slimbridge with its soft, delicate face.

One of the Daves and I made the trip up the M5 today to WWT Slimbridge. We had a great day out and saw 46 species of birds including Common Crane, White-fronted Goose, Bewick Swan and the White-rumped Sandpiper (a rare visitor to the UK).
