We realised how spoilt we had been with the wonderful light on our recent trip to Portugal when we arrived at Slimbridge on a gloomy Monday morning.
However, I can think of many more worse places to be on a Monday morning.
Before the morning was out the sun broke through and we ended our visit eating lunch in the sunshine outside the café, having seen some lovely birds.
The reported Temminck’s stint had flown before our arrival but we were treated to the sight of a flock of over 20 common cranes flying out over the River Severn.
