18th January 2024 – WWT Slimbridge

Slimbridge on ice and in the winter sunshine was a sheer delight this morning.

The Bewick swans looked very much at home. We are so lucky to see these beautiful birds so close to home.

The same could be said of the common cranes – we saw two in flight and at least 9 feeding on the edges of the Severn estuary.

2 water rails close up were also pretty special.
