Next it was time to visit the Bewick family.
Currently it consists only of Silvertag abd Orangetag - as their young have been moved on to their next home in preparation for the tags to have more this coming season. They did house a guest though - a mute swan.
The infoboard informed us about the young Bewicks.
Next we found a dry bench to sit on in order to eat our picnic lunch. they have started to sell vegan pasties again, so that is what i ate while Liz had ryvita and cheese...or tried to. We had a few feathered friends observing us hungrily - hinting.
Before snatching this crumb from Liz's ryvita, the robin had stood behind us on the bench watching me munch my pasty.... it wouldnt wait for me to finish and give it the last crumbs, but swooped thru the air, beaked the pasty, and flew away again. HUMPH!!
I took another shot of the Bewicks as we went past them again - the red branches of the dogwood show up really well.
My last photo from this trip was on our way home. We passed the woodland and came out on Swillage Lane by poachers pond and I took a shot of Goggles.
The robin attacked your pasty? 😀 Where is Slimbridge? Is that a place that you go to?
