Started off at Slimbridge which i was a bit disapointed by,didn't see much of note (missed the phalorope by an hour)was more pleased with the Linnets and Goldcrest i saw waiting for the place to open(how come birdwatching places open so late).I left and went to the Forest of Dean saw Manderin ducks in the pools there,got wet and a bit lost and as i was getting a bit frantic looking for the carpark noticed some leaves on the path moving,was dead chuffed to find it was Brambling and forgot for a few moments my being lost predicament ,was eventually saved a long,cold night in the forest by an elderly couple(thankyou again).This morning i risked the missusses wrath again by going to Kingsbury waterpark and was rewarded by three Little Egrets and i'm pretty sure Willow Tits.New species this weekend : Whooper & Bewicks swans,Linnet,Brambling,Little Egret and Willow Tit.
