Mum and Dad took me and Finn to Slimbridge today for our first trip. We were really excited. When we walked out and saw all the birds it was amazing. We walked around and listened to a talk about the North American River Otters, they were really cool.
We went out into the hides and watched the wild birds. We saw a White Fronted Goose, Black Headed Gull, Wigeon and Reed Bunting which were all on the list. The Reed Bunting just sat there while my Dad took some pictures
Black Headed Gull
There were loads of Wood Pigeons, Coot and Moorhens walking around.
There were some other birds there that i saw for the first time, they were not on the Tarka List but i was glad to see them
Bewick Swan
Eider
Pintail
While we were watching the birds we saw some wild Rabbits
On the way home we stopped off at the Forest of Dean and i saw my first Nuthatch and Marsh Tit, we even saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker in the tree next to our car
It was dark and cold when we got home and we sat in front of the fire talking about what we had seen. I crossed these off my list
