4th October 2024 – WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire

A beautiful start to the day encouraged us to venture north from Bristol to spend a while at the World Wetlands Trust reserve at Slimbridge. We were well rewarded with close ups of black-tailed godwits, common greenshank, common redshank, northern lapwings, a little egret, Canada and Greylag geese and a green sandpiper.

Unfortunately, the beautiful light didn’t last long and nor did we.
