6th January 2024 – WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire

Following a series of storms in recent weeks, many parts of the country are now suffering flooding (in some cases quite severe). We are fortunate not to have been affected by these floods but locally it is very wet and muddy and difficult to get out and about.

However, we had no problems getting to WWT Slimbridge today and enjoyed seeing large flocks of waders taking full advantage of the wetlands.

The light was not always good but we were very thankful to be out enjoying some fresh air and, for a change, there was hardly any wind.
