WWT

1 Dec - An afternoon visit to Slimbridge after the rain, amazing views of up to 3 Water Rails from Willow Hide. Large numbers of Lapwings and Golden Plovers circling over the Tack Piece. Good to see over 40 elegant Bewick's Swans now back on site, amazing to think about the arduous migration that they have undertaken. Whitefronts feeding S of Zeiss hide, and the usual large numbers of duck present. Snipe, Redshank and Black-tailed Godwit also seen. Beautiful low winter light when the sun appeared between the shower clouds.
