hello Mike. I hope your ok.
Im going to get a membership for Slimbridge tomorrow morning then Im going to look around and take photos and once I have the membership I will be able to visit more often
I'm sure you've done your homework, but if not, keep an eye out for garganey. Not sure if the green winged teal is still there.....If you've not been there before yet, white fronted geese often get overlooked by visitors. Again, I don't know if they've taken advantage of the good weather and left.
Thanks for your comment. the day before 7th April I said I was going to go in the morning in the morning on the 7th April I went to Slimbridge but when I go I do usually notice white fronted geese
I only saw one white fronted goose the rest were graylag geese
Looks like you had a good time. The wild white fronted geese are usually in fields viewable from South Finger hides....at least when I go there, that's where they usually are. They probably have migrated by now. The photos you've posted are of collection birds. The wild birds are mostly around the outside of the reserve, viewable from hides, though you can get decent wild bird sightings from places like The Rushy.
Thats Interesting that’s the case when you go there. for me iv seen white fronted geese there before that was a few years ago but on Friday
I Managed to get a photo of a white fronted goose there on Friday
That was at swan lake so maybe they hadn’t all left last Friday the last of them are leaving now but there was one last Friday
Here’s a map of slimbridge
