Slimbridge

24 Feb - A quick stop at Slimbridge, where the Water Rails continue to show very well from Willow hide especially in the cold weather. The Bewick's Swans are starting to display, but will probably stay put while the current cold weather and easterly winds continue. Also the usual impressive mass of waders on the floods and Tack Piece, regularly flushed or spooked by raptors. The views of the wildfowl in full breeding plumage are also exceptional at present.
