Orinoco Goose (Neochen jubata)

Here I am, sitting at home, twiddling my thumbs togethers. IT IS RAINING. Magic bag, to my rescue. These were taken at Slimbridge WWT. The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is one of the world’s largest and most respected wetland conservation organisations working globally to safeguard and improve wetlands for wildlife and people. Founded in the UK in 1946 by the late Sir Peter Scott, today we complement wetland conservation work carried out worldwide with a network of UK visitor centres comprising 2,600 hectares of globally important wetland habitat. All of our work is supported by a much valued membership base of over 200,000 people.

  14. That's an attractive goose, well photographed. I remember hearing about Slimbridge and Sir Peter Scott on TV when I was young, so it's nice to hear a bit more about it.
