Slimbridge Wetlands Centre




Last Sunday, the first day with the altering of the clocks,
 we visited Slimbridge in Gloucester,
 a Wetland Centre which is a base for mirgrating geese, birds,
 ducks & include resident flamingos,
 besides other wildlife.



The Centre covers such a vast area,
 which has many bird hides for visitors to use.






Although there was showers,
the weather did eventually brighten,
 with  Autumn shades still providing stunning colours.















With the staff feeding the birds
 during the afternoon,
 much activity commenced,
 until the birds, ducks,  geese settled
 before an earlier dark evening emerged.

  1. It is avery long time since I visited Slimbridge but your images brought back some happy memories. We have a WWT centre close to us at Barnes which never fails to impress.
