Another Great Day at WWT Slimbridge

What a great day we've had today at WWT Slimbridge. The weather started out with clear blue sky, a great day for bird watching.

However, our first stop was the telescope and binocular shop. After, what seemed like hours, we left with a shiny new spotting scope with tripod and bag.

We spent the rest of the day sitting in the bird hides. I think Zoe enjoyed the new scope, in fact she spotted a peregrine falcon miles away chomping on a kill on the ground. You couldn't make it out with the binoculars. We also saw three marsh harriers, buzzards, red shanks and many others.

Winter is definitely the best time to see birds.
