The 11th February 2026 and the 1st trip out of the year. ( Due to poor weather ) A visit to WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire.
A Common Redshank on the far side of the Tack Piece Lagoon, about 60 meters away.
As its name suggests, Redshanks' most distinctive features are their bright orange-red legs. They have a medium-length bill and an orange base to match. Their back and wings are brown and speckled, while their belly is paler in colour.
A short walk from the cottage against a low granite cliff is a place I call the Verdance. Facing north and in the shade of tall hemlock trees, this rock never receives direct sunlight and yet it is covered with green life: moss, lichen and ferns.
I'm sorting old photos and posting some interesting ones. This image was uploaded to Flickr on Feb. 5, 2020.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

It is easy to see how these orchids can be missed growing as they do, among grasses and other green vegetation. It takes a while to get your eye in but once you have, others soon become apparent. I think they are well worth the search involved!
Common (or harbour) seal on the rocks of Raasay, Hebrides. D7100_35687.NEF. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
Whilst the plumber is upstairs I popped out into the garden in time to see this beauty land. It was high up on a spirea bush and I had to stand on a garden chair with my hands raised and using Live View on my screen to get this one! I think my i/d is correct (a female?) but, as always I'm happy to be proved wrong.
The common sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) is a small Palearctic wader. This bird and its American sister species, the spotted sandpiper (A. macularia), make up the genus Actitis. They are parapatric and replace each other geographically; stray birds of either species may settle down with breeders of the other and hybridize. Hybridization has also been reported between the common sandpiper and the green sandpiper, a basal species of the closely related genus Tringa.

The description in Wikipedia says "The Common Jay is active throughout the day and constantly on the move; it rarely settles down."
I noticed that, I have chased this one around the village, and finally my patience got rewarded with this shot. Didn't dare approach it too close, so I had to use my zoom.
A trip to Slimbridge, Gloucestershire in early November 2023. The water levels on the lagoons on the outer fields were starting to rise and the winter birds starting to arrive.
