Some of them started getting off 

Allmost all the birds were on the other side 

 but they did came back over again  eventually 

  • A good part 2 and a good selection of birds Zo.

  • Thanks. I went all the way round so I thought I’d do a part 2 I found out that I still hadn’t gone round absolutely everywhere though and I acidently missed the elder cause I didn’t notice what it said until I looked at my photos after the visit. They have lesser flamingos aswell as These Andean flammingos. I don’t usually see them sit in the water so I couldn’t miss tthat shot and I think the one with the flamingo looking happy and putting its wings out splashing around, and drinking was one of my best ones with the flamingo aswell.

    Often its a good idea to do a part 1, part 2 etc, particularly if you have a lot of photos and info to share.

    That way it can be grouped, either as per hide, area or whatever you see fit.

  • Ok. Thanks. After I went I found out there was other parts there I missed aswell which is interesting aswell there is also events like Wildlife Photography sessions and also birding sessions one for beginners and one for ones who arnt new to it or arnt beginners. And pond dipping

    Slimbridge is a massive place and packs a lot in.

  • I really must make a visit there, it's been some almost 50 years since I was last there.
