WWT Slimbridge Visitor CentreAn easy trip to WWT Slimbridge as we live on the north side of Bristol
It’s been a while since we have managed to get out birding and so we opted for our safe bet of WWT Slimbridge. Although we have had some rain and the fields have greened up a lot, the water levels are very low and most waders are probably opting for the nearby muddy banks of the Severn Estuary.
However, I hope you agree, there were a few nice birds to see.
