Re: Impressions of Slimbridge

Went back to Slimbridge today,caught a glimpse of the bittern,too cold
so it headed into the reeds s.e. side of the Zeiss hide.
Photo by Kev Lewis outside the hide of the Bittern
Less people about so the whole day was much more relaxed ,
had a look through a Leica scope easy to see why they are the
best,lots of pink footed geese started flying quite a sight
Counted 4 bigmas, man constantly on the 'phone to a mate identified
several birds for me including Cetti s warbler(I just looked where he looked
he was very loud)
Lots of nice people struck up conversations (dropped WAB into each )
