Enjoyed a day out at Croome Court yesterday and saw 4 Glossy Ibis and a Cormorant sitting on top of a tree. Much better view of the Glossy Ibis than we had at Slimbridge on Tuesday. Thank you to Mike Holley for the help and information. 👍

A visit to WWT Slimbridge on 23 September 2025. Glossy Ibis was seen but too far away to get a worthwhile photo.

22 May 2025 at #UptonWarren the moors. It's the quickest I've seen this family of geese (8 goslings) move when the Muntjac came through.
