WWT Slimbridge    The TEMMINCK’S STINT still on the Rushy today, but missing for most of the morning. The YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER still in the hedges along the Estuary Walkway but not calling much hence very elusive. Presumably the same back at Kingfisher hide at 3:10pm but still elusive. (Ian Hull). A BITTERN showed well this morning from Van de Bovenkamp hide between 9:50-10am. Also a Peregrine flew through very close to the hide. Two Red Kites circled over the 100-Acre N of the Estuary Tower at 10:50am. Also a drake Mandarin in the Decoy and a Lesser Redpoll flew over. (MK).
