Ah! I see
Ah! I see we have a new camera angle since my last visit! There's a very determined black waterfowl of some description practicing his dives....bottoms up and DOWN he goes! And again. And again. Yep, he's got it absolutely perfect now. And here comes a swan, turning her head and glancing to left and right as she sails serenely by, like the Queen from her carriage heading down the Mall.
Hello beau
Hello beautiful swans and black ducks. It's a lovely tranquil scene there today but I wish I could hear the water noises and splashes etc.
I get hypn
I get hypnotised looking at this webcam scene. The swans are so beautiful and graceful, it's like watching ballet (Swan Lake, of course!)
Aha, now I
Aha, now I know what there so many birds there....I saw what I thought were two small white ducks on the sand which turned out to be a pair of trainers at the end of someone's legs! Obviously WWT visitors can buy stuff to feed the birds. She was very brave and bent down right in front of the swans to sprinkle the food. Not sure I would go quite so close, have heard that swans can be quite aggressive.
Hi LuluB.
Hi LuluB. If you go to the Slimbridge website www.wwt.org.uk/slimbridge it says that you can buy food for the birds. It looks like an amazing place. I live in Wiltshire so it's not too far to go so one day I must pay a visit.
Hi CarolW,
Hi CarolW, thank you for the link, and fancy bumping into you here....come here often?! Slimbridge does look amazing, well worth a visit. I've only ever visited the WWT centre in Barnes, west London, a couple of years ago. It's a lovely oasis of beauty and tranquility alongside the Thames, about 100 acres, and quite miraculous given its location in the centre of London and right beneath the Heathrow flight path! And what a welcome sight for the exhausted wildfowl flying over the bleak concrete jungle that is London!
Hi LuluB.
Hi LuluB. I check out all the bird and animal cams on checkitlive, although some more than others. I had no idea that there was a WWT centre in West London. As you say, the migrating wildfowl must think they've found heaven!
Quack quack. This is lovely!
Oh how great to see WWT has a webcam! I am a WWT member but living abroad and not had the chance to visit yet, so now I can enjoy a live preview. Look at all those beautiful swans and geese! I guess it must be feeding time, seeing so many of them all together at that spot. Too bad we can't hear all the lovely noises and splashes that waterbirds make. Congratulations Slimbridge for installing a webcam...it's fab!
this camera is great
great view of the birds thank you checkitlive another great cam

You have to see this
Hello Carol, Lulu and Funboy.........I had to share this with you, it's a real aquatic feeding frenzy in Pennsylvania, U. S. I went here once and it's a sight to behold and really quite funny to see all the open mouths looking up at you for they also sell bread for you to feed them....click further down on the site to watch the video.
