The weather was variable, but the on-line forecast promised some sun in Gloucestershire. A visit to Slimbridge seemed in order.
My main target was the Bewick's Swans. They'll be leaving soon.
The sun did start to shine and a strong side-light presented a challenge, but gave some fascinating images.

| Nice to stretch |
 |
| It feels good being the biggest in the playground |
 |
| Time for some preening |
Interlopers?
 |
| Mute Swan |
Swanning around:
How about some profiles?
... and some flying?
 |
| As seen through a hide window |
What else?
 |
| The ever-present Black-headed Gull |
 |
| A flight of Pintail |
 |
| A flight of Shelduck |
... and one on its own.
 |
| Young Bewick's Swan |
 |
| "What's this about? Looks like I'm baggage-tagged for Agatti Is. airport ..." |
 |
| "... and I can't say I'm keen on it." |
 |
| "When do we go back home again, Mum?" |
Finally, there's no show without the Greylag!
 |
| "Is that all?" |
There'll be more from Slimbridge next week.
