White-fronts
Crane party
Wigeon flock
Pintail
Bewicks Swans
Bewicks Swans
Been lacking a bit of inspiration like everyone
else during these cold winter months. Knowing I’m slightly behind where I
normally am I’ll do a few short blogs to catch up.
Slimbridge proved to be the usual stunning
morning expected when going there. The early access via the members gate
is a great way to make the most of the morning and you get to view the
Rushy pen where large number of the Bewicks Swans
and wildfowl roost over-night. As I edged towards the Holden Tower the
birds started to leave the Rushy to land right in front of the other
hides on the Tack Piece. No idea why but I love the White-fronted Geese
and they were much closer than normal allowing
for some spectacular scope views. The Pintails looked pristine and it
was almost like they knew it.
Other sightings included huge flocks of Wigeon
huddled together, 10 Common Cranes, 40 Dunlin, Curlew, Barnacles Geese,
Lapwing, Shoveler, Snipe, Shelduck, Redshank & good numbers of
Skylark from the Holden Tower.
