And on to Slimbridge..

The weather looked promising after a week of fog and rain, so Slimbridge was the adventure venue today.
Been twice before in the last year, so didn't take too many pictures, yearlisting was the aim of the day today, but did snap a Snipe, plus the resident Otters.
10 Year ticks in the form of Greylag, Barnacle, White Fronted and Pink Footed Geese. Pintail, Bewicks Swan, Shelduck, Dunlin and Snipe... Plus 2 'lifers' in the form of some Golden Plover and a Peregrine..
I'd seen Peregrine before, but am starting the 'life list' from when I started last years Year List...
Got it?

Nonchalant Otter..



Snipe.




The sunsets on another Widgeon.
Slimbridge claim to have 7200 Widgeon there..
I think they under-counted!!
