1 Slavonian Grebe, 2 Snipe, 1 Water Pipit
I7 was ringed and tagged on 09.06.2020 near Cantley, which is east of Norwich, and was one of three. He was sexed as a male and had two siblings, a brother and a sister.
He was first seen at Slimbridge on 19.10.2020 and stayed into the following day. He disappeared for a month and re-appeared at Chew Valley Lakes on 26.11.2020. Back to Slimbridge on 06.12.2020, then Chew again 09 - 10.12.2020. Obviously undecided which site he prefers!
No sign of his sister as yet, but his brother was photographed in Portugal on 26.11.2020. This is the 3rd of our wing tagged harriers to go to Portugal, so well pleased
