The Ross's Goose at WWT Slimbridge taken from the Estuary Tower, I first photographed this bird 5 years ago before it was ringed. Thought to be an escapee from a collection but who knows? #birds #GlosBirds #BirdsSeenIn2026

Another image of the unusual Tufted Duck at WWT Slimbridge - any experts out there, I wonder if this is erythrism rather than a hybrid? #GlosBirds #birds

I have been keen to see this bird, eventually found it on the Eider Pond at WWT Slimbridge at the end of the day. The presumed Tufted x Red-crested Pochard hybrid, worth the wait. #birds #GlosBirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
