Slimbridge wetland centre - November

Excellent trip to slimbridge wetland centre amazing to see the birds so up close even though there captive it's good to be able to see and hear the birds in such detail.
The highlight was the flamingos never seen so many so close there such beautiful birds, elegant and pink, so lady like :)
For this blog I will concentrate on the wild birds seen there at the birding hides, which were, 
Bewick's swan, Shelduck,  Pintail, Curlew, Golden plover, Black tailed Godwit,  White fronted geese, Lapwing, Teal, and Jackdaw.
 The Pintail's were showing so well amazing to see them wild and so close, there beautiful chocolate color head and such elegant posture.






The lapwings were also right in front of the hide you could clearly see there beautiful plumage shiny green, with petrol color tint.




Bewick's very stunning even did some poses for me, so dainty in comparison to the mute swan, photo of a mute swan and Bewick's swan waited ages for the Bewick's to life his head up but he wouldn't lol   







Good views of the Shelduck and also Pochards, and Jackdaws, and the male teal although I had seen male teal before never this close they really are stunning.
