WWT Slimbridge A BEARDED TIT just in front of Zeiss hide at 11:30am flying through the cut reeds north, towards the Canoe trail. (John Budd). Presumably the bird present on and off since 2nd November 2024 and now seen by Matt Fletcher, Jonathan Bull, John Budd and me, and heard by a few others. The GLOSSY IBIS arrived in the roadside fields at 8:30am and showed very well throughout the day. (MK). The juvenile SPOONBILL still around the site. Two WHOOPER SWANS on the Tack Piece, the Black Swan on the Rushy, an early Oystercatcher on South Lake and four Avocets. (Tim McGrath/Steve Pullen).
