Another visit to Slimbridge and a very different day to our visit earlier in the week, with sunshine and very warm temperatures (15C) for this time of the year.

It’s getting very exciting here with large numbers of birds arriving from the north. No whooper or Bewick swans yet, but a small number of white fronted geese have just arrived from the north of Russia.

The biggest flocks today were northern lapwing

    If you study these pictures, it’s amazing how these birds blend into the landscape. I look forward to seeing more as the season progresses.
