Slow Worm: I've spent a few days here carrying out breeding bird surveys in Shrewsbury and spent some of my free time dipping the green-winged teal at Venus Pools.
Lovely little reserve if a bit restrictive in places with club members only hides.
Willow Warbler: The teal gave me a bit of a runaround not seen on either of my four visits, but seen once over the weekend. Typical.
Robin: highlights included a brambling from the feedings station hide, a huge slow worm close to the car park and my fisrt little ringed plovers of the year.
