The Wild Side of Slimbridge

It as been a while since my last post, but here we go again. Lisa and I revisited Slimbridge Wildlife and Wetland Trust concentrating on the wild birds, luckily the weather had improved  and we managed to capture a few images, so  the next few posts will show some of our successes from our two day visit. The weather was interesting, as day one the temperature was around ten to thirteen degrees Celsius and the second day was minus one to plus three. This change in temperature caused a major change in bird population, basically the Golden Plover and Lapwing pushed off probably down to Cornwall for a warm up.
