Photos from Slimbridge

The weather on our arrival was cold, with thick fog. Fortunately, this cleared during the morning, leaving lovely low, hazy sun. Slimbridge has a fine collection of waterfowl, and attracts large numbers of visitors, both avian and human. Amongst the birds we saw were Bewick's Swans - winter visitors from the Arctic - though their numbers seemed diminished. Nonetheless, some wonderful opportunities to see and photograph the birds, at a particularly interesting time of year.
