Pintail & Mallard
White Fronted Geese
Bewick Swan
It would be a crime to not stop in at Slimbridge when passing on the way home from the Severn Beach. Slimbridge has always been one of my favourite places since visiting it as a youngster with the family. The place is always a hive of activity throughout the year and I've been on a number of their events through out the years. They always seem to have an eye on the next generation of members and the reserve does have the right balance for the serious birders, day visitors and education.
On the car park I saw whirl of waders flying as a Peregrine was looking for an early lunch. As many as 3000 Lapwing and 1500 Golden Plover were all trying to avoid being taken.
Key Sightings included :- 80+ Curlew, Dunlin, 4 Cranes from Great Crane project, 140 White Fronted Geese, 120 Bewick Swans, Barnacle Geese, Wigeon, Pintail, Buzzards, Pochard and Teal.
The WWT have started a great little series of videos on You-tube with all their latest news on. The videos are 3-4 minutes in length and are great for a quick watch.
