Beschreibung
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' Großer Brachvogel and Kranich.
Some species (depending on season) you can expect to see are Bläßgans, Zwergschwan, Löffler, Säbelschnäbler, Wasserralle, Bruchwasserläufer and Waldwasserläufer. 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).

BE AWARE, THE MAP SHOWS THE BEST WALKING ROUTE TO HIDES FOR WILD BIRDS. As well as the more regular species seen each year, you may see Saatgans, Zwerggans, Singschwan. Be sure to catch the daily Zwergschwan feeding, with live commentary, from the peng observatory during the winter month afternoons (see star on map). BE AWARE, the pathway from the Holden Tower hide to the estuary is SUMMER ONLY (SEE STAR ON MAP). For Star 'murmuration' good views can be had from the 'tall' Sloane Observatory Tower at the visitor centre.
