So the reason that I have had to work so much the last couple of weeks is because we had weekend training for potential foster carers. On the Saturday I got to take the birth children to
Slimbridge Wildlife and Wetlands Trust. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the kids were all well behaved so I had a lovely day! Here are a few pics...

The predator of the 'duckoy' - it turns out
that ducks follow a threat, so this young'un leads
them into the net so they can be caught |

Wow! Slimbridge has changed a lot since I was last there - and it wasn't that long ago!
