Today we visited the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust centre in Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, for the sixth time, which is as good a reason as any to finally start this blog.
As we emerged from the Visitor Centre, we were met by this handsome Graylag goose.

I think this was a Lesser white-fronted goose, with quite a distinctive beak.
