BBC Countryfile at Slimbridge

gramps · 15 Jan 2016

BBC Countryfile were filming at Slimbridge today, seemed to be particularly interested in the Bewicks Swans.
Nice to be sharing a hide with presenter Ellie Harrison, (she didn't notice me!)

(Rubbish iPhone pics ... 500mm wasn't practical!)

Criminal surveillance team?

Or checking for speeding on the runways?

Hope to be going there tomorrow myself.

Pity I will miss the lovely Ellie

Look out for the two Egyptian Geese in the Rushy Hide Pete, they were very close today (too close for me in fact!)

We are going to go down to Llanelli in the next few months as we have never been there.

Great value cost for the membership, giving all the WWT sites.

Ha ha, yes just watched it ... I obviously wasn't as desirable for the TV as the lovely Bewicks Researcher!
