Bewicks Swan
An excellent day was spent at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) in the company of members of the RSPB Coventry & Warwickshire group. It was my first "birding" visit to this excellent reserve, previous visits were more concentrated on the "captive" area, when Abigail was still in her pushchair! I was well impressed with the "wild" areas, amassing sixty four bird species with c twenty year ticks!
