On the 3rd of Feb we decided that we would take a visit to Slimbridge as we have not visited in a long time. We started our usual route where we saw a lovely Collared Dove before heading to the Martin Smith Hide.
When we got to Martin Smith Hide there was a few birds of interest including a pair of common cranes and Common Snipe.
After spending a bit of time in the Martin Smith hide I headed down to the other hides where I saw some Mute Swans and White fronted geese. After those I headed towards the willow hide where I saw more Common Snipe showing close and the Water Rail.
Then I headed back to the martin smith hide as there was a Glossy Ibis there which was only there for a short time before heading back to willow for a while then went back to martin smith to get the Jack snipe awake.
We then headed to the Rushy before heading home at the end of the day where we saw lots of birds including the American x Chloe Wigeon.
