<p>I was sitting in the KIngfisher Hide at WWT Slimbridge, in the hope of a sighting of their local Kingfishers (which did not appear), when I saw four large birds approaching over the river from the west. They were initially at extreme range and had to have been well over the River Severn, but they continued steadily onwards in a direct line towards the hide I was sitting in. I'm sure the birds must use the hides as well as other natural landmarks as a means of navigation. Since 2010 WWT Slimbridge has been successful in the hand rearing and re-introduction of over 90 Common Crane chicks and their efforts can now be appreciated by many as these fabulous birds spread their wings throughout the UK.
