Winter @ Slimbridge

More sences from Slimbridge,

but much to our surprise,

the Wetland Centre is undergoing some major changes. 

 Mechanical equipment occupied some of the area rather than birds,

changing the landscape of the lagoons close to the main building.

Much of the plant life had been cut back,

no doubt in readiness for another growing season

But with this reinvention of the area,

other views were evident,

 giving the landscape a new prospective at the present.

Despite all the changes taking place,

 it was still an enjoyable day out.

The last view I captured,

 was of the bronze bust of  the late,  Sir Peter Scott,

 founder of the Wetland Centre in 1946,

with a Gull resting on his head.

As he had worked hard to establish this centre for birds & wildfowl,

it's quite appropriate.
