29th November 2024 – WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire

“Byrdes of on kynde and color flok and flye allwayes together.” William Turner :”The Rescuing of Romish Fox1545

Birds of a feather flock together – they certainly do at Slimbridge and, at this time of the year, in large numbers.

The diary at the front desk gives an indication of the numbers of sightings – but did the golden plover come later?

The other feature at Slimbridge currently is that the Bewick swans have returned:

There were plenty of opportunities for close-ups too:

Redshank

Shelduck

There were also birds that you are likely to see in your garden too:

Blue tit

Great tit

Robin

… and it’s not all about birds!
