WWT Slimbridge     The male WHITE-SPOTTED BLUETHROAT again today from the Shepherd’s Hut at Middle Point but not until 9:20am. Sometimes it came quite close to the viewpoint and has certainly become easier to see. The BLACK-WINGED STILT still on South Lake. A Spotted Redshank, a Green Sandpiper, a female GARGANEY and a Cuckoo from Zeiss hide. (Slimbridge Sightings).
