Home via Slimbridge

After a great Saturday evening and comfortable stay at a hotel in Hembury, we headed home first via Aust Warth for breakfast and possible Short Eared Owls (which we unfortunately dipped on) and then to Slimbridge.

A bitter east wind kept many people away from Slimbridge.  We took our time and visited a lot of Slimbridge that we normally miss out altogether, including the Kingfisher hide and the captive species.  Bonus of the day was when a Goshawk passed in front of the Zeiss Hide and Common Cranes appeared on the Tack Piece.

In the afternoon, we walked round Frampton on Severn and Splatt Bridge The bitter wind accompanied by fine hail eventually got the better of us and sent us back home to some warmth.
