WWT Slimbridge
WWT Slimbridge is a wetland reserve managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, on the river Severn estuary. It is the first WWT centre which opened, due to the vision of Sir Peter Scott.It is at its best in winter, with large flocks of white-fronted geese, sometimes with a rare lesser white-fronted goose amongst them. There are also Bewick's swans, whooper swans and many ducks, some of which even join the captive birds on the pools in the collection.
Wintering birds of prey also occur, such as peregrine and merlin.
