February – Peter Orr
Timing the visit for February, allows us the potential of seeing the amazing spectacle of 30,000 wintering waterfowl, including wheeling flocks of lapwing and golden plover.
Slimbridge is also the best site in the country for seeing the rare and spectacular crane, at any time of year.
WWT members have free access but for the rest of us, adult tickets are £17.22, or £16.95 for Senior Citizens, details on tickets are available here: https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/slimbridge/plan-your-visit/tickets.
Slimbridge Wetland Centre is located near to the M5 between Gloucester and Bristol, exit at either junctions 13 or 14 and follow the brown duck signs.
