XWinter at Slimbridge Wetland Centre
Winter is a fantastic time to visit Slimbridge with up to 30,000 wild wintering ducks, geese and swans feeding and roosting on the reserve. Look out for the beautiful Bewick's swans, white-fronted geese and huge flocks of wigeon, teal and lapwing. Watch golden plover twinkling as they flock together in the sky and keep your eyes peeled for the elusive bittern.
