[@RichardBirchett]

Nice to see you back mate! About time, lol...... And some new species to boot! Looks like a cracking spot. Cheers Rich 👍 - ( Get editing that LEO video mate... )

[@wildphil]

Thanks, mate. I'll see what I can do regarding the Leo video ;-)

[@paulgregory3288]

Enjoyed your video, the Wader is a Snipe I think.

[@wildphil]

Thanks, Paul. With the benefit of hindsight and the chart on the wall in the hide behind me (I didn't even see it until the end!) I think you're right :-)

Great to see you back Phil. Get a vid together mate. We know results are hard for Leo but its about the chase and the process, id love to watch it but you know that already lol

[@wildphil]

Thanks, Wayne. I've managed to cut the footage down from around 6 hours to 3 so far!, haha.

I would recommend Bradford on Avon for Kingfisher as they are very used to people, Westhay near Hamwall would be a great place for Marsh Harriers.

[@wildphil]

Thanks for the tips and comment. I'll definately investigate more about Westhay! Im aware of Bradford on Avon but I know it's a photographer's hotspot so it's not really my thing, I usually prefer to be alone.

Can recommend Collins Bird Guide to birds of Britain and Ireland. I had the same issues identifying birds at Slimbridge

[@wildphil]

Thank you for the recommednation, John. I've just placed an order for it from Blackwell's Bookshop. :-)

Rainham Marshes are great for harriers

[@wildphil]

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out if I'm round that way.
