Wigeon
Another trip to WWT Slimbridge, Gloucestershire at the end of January.
Weather was bright and sunny.

Subtle rather than showy, the Eurasian Wigeon is a duck that winters in great numbers in Britain, with most of our visitors travelling to us from Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia. It is a highly social species, found in flocks of hundreds or even thousands of birds.
