Widgeon


Wintering wilfowl gather in large numbers along the Severn Estuary escaping their northern breeding areas for the relative warmth of our shores.
This pair of Widgeon are finding plenty of grass at Slimbridge WWT after our mild autumn weather.
Numbers will continue to build over the coming weeks and the centre is well worth a visit over the Winter months.

  1. Is this like when a Wildebeest breeds with a Pigeon?

  2. No I think that would just be a squashed pigeon
