Slimbridge outing for new camera










After spending many weeks debating buying a bridge camera, I finally opted for a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 after taking on plenty of advice. After reading the manual I thought I'd try out it out at Slimbridge given the great viewing available. Whilst the light was far from ideal it was better than originally forecast. Counts for Bewick Swans & White-front remain low given the time of the year.

Sightings included :- Peregrine, Buzzard, 1500 Golden Plover, 2400 Lapwing, 500 Dunlin, 90 Curlew, 190 Barnacle Goose,  350 Canada Goose, 11 Comon Crane, 64 White-fronted Goose, 150 Greylag, 600 Wigeon, 300 Teal, 80 Pintail, 40 Shoveler, 6 Ruff, 15 Redshank, 100 Black-tailed Godwit, 80 Shelduck, 80 Bewick Swans and Cetti's Warbler.
