  1. After a successful yesterday bluebell hunting, my mate & I went to #Slimbridge WWT to try & see the cranes.

    After failing to see them at the predicted hide, we consoled ourselves with lunch, then tried to do the estuary walk, but found it closed. So we made a last minute decision & went up the Estuary Tower. As I scanned the wet land… "Crane!" I'd found 4 of them on the opposite side of the site.

    So yeah, I have achieved this weekend!

    'Amazing' bird of prey spotted at Slimbridge in very rare UK visit bbc.com/news/articles/c14g20k2 🦅

  7. What a fabulous day out at WWT Slimbridge with two of the Exeter Daves; highlights were the White-spotted Bluethroat, Temminck's Stint, male Garganey and Ruff. Happy days.

  9. Day 22 of the 2024 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Black-tailed Skimmer, seen from an unusual angle, looking down at one sunbathing on a low fence. The green eyes distinguish it from the related Keeled Skimmer from this angle where the colour of the abdomen is harder to see. At #WWT #Slimbridge last summer. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #photography

  14. A brief (5s) but good view of the White-spotted Bluethroat (last year was much better but hey, that's the way it goes) at WWT Slimbridge earlier.

    Good supporting cast including these Barnacle Goose having a squabble ..... should have dubbed the Benny Hill ‘Chase’ music on…

  23. One of my favourite photographs from 2016- this one was taken at Slimbridge Wetland Centre. The swan pictured here is a juvenile, a cygnet, that's why the feathering is grey rather than white.
