I was lucky enough to visit at the WWT Slimbridge, Wetland Centre occasionally. WWT Slimbridge is a wetland nature reserve run by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust near the village of Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, It’s in a beautiful rural location in between The River Severn Estuary and the Gloucester-Sharpness canal.
The reserve is home to many Swans, Ducks, Geese, Otters, flamingos and many other species, some of which are in the gallery below.
