Set off from Stapleton in bright sunshine only to arrive at the Severn in a heavy shower; didn’t last long though and spent a couple of glorious hours at New Passage.

Wheatears, Stonechats, Meadow Pipits, Goldfinch, Pied Wagtails and hundreds of Widgeon all along the grassy areas. Of note on the ponds were Grey Heron, Little Egret, Little Grebe, Shoveler and a Snipe.

As the tide was receding on the shore and on the sea there were Redshank, more Widgeon, Grey Heron and Egrets.
