Lovely day morning at WWT Slimbridge with @robclipson.bsky.social, Little Stint, Greater White Fronted Geese and Spoonbill being some of the major highlights, however the Eider pen always fills me with joy!

On the way home from a fabulous #birdringing trip in Norway. Fabulous birding in a fabulous place with fabulous people (Birders' Paradise- Nesseby, Norway). Highlights included White-billed diver and Arctic Skua on Fjord, ringing Northern Goshawk and seeing Great Grey Shrike in the hand.
