I visited Slimbridge WWT yesterday and was lucky with the superb light. Below are a few highlights of a stunning day. The shots below are from both the wild side and the captive side, eg the Smew and the Flamingos rae obviously captive. I deliberated for a while on whether to post the shots here, but I liked them.
