A few shots from a recent visit to WWT Slimbridge:
- Common Cranes
- Pintail
- Water Rail (Normally very shy birds but this one wondered about just a few metres from the hide and seemed quite used to people)

+ a Merlin from RSPB Greylake where we popped in in the way home. Luckily, it landed on this stick about 1 minute after we arrived in the hide.
