Opis

Slimbridge Wetland Centre (Slimbridge WWT) was set up in November 1946, by renowned naturalist, artist and broadcaster Sir Peter Scott, who went on to form The Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, that today has numerous other reserves throughout the United Kingdom. Slimbridge WWT comprises of 2000 acres of lagoon, reedbeds, salt marsh and pasture land beside the River Severn Estuary. As well as having the world's largest collection of 'captive' wildfowl, it is heavily involved in research projects in the UK/overseas and captive breeding programmes of endangered species, more recently it has been involved in 'headstarting' kulik wielki and żuraw.

Some species (depending on season) you can expect to see are gęś białoczelna, łabędź czarnodzioby, warzęcha, szablodziób, wodnik (zwyczajny), łęczak and samotnik. There are probably more hides at this site than any other reserve of the same size and new for the reserves 75 anniversary the Holden Hide overlooking the estuary has been completely rebuilt, that includes a lift for the less able, other areas have had further work done to 'build' scrapes and islands, further improving the area for birds. For admission charge and latest bird sightings go to wwt.org.uk (see the link below).
