February 2014: Oh deer, we are up to our necks in it! Judging from the latest episode of the Wildlife Weekly video diary from WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, it isn’t just surfers who find novel ways of negotiating the Severn Bore. These beautiful roe deer decided to swim for it when the high tide came to Slimbridge this week.
The diary is presented by Dave Paynter who takes us out in the thick of it for a look at the wet weather and the conditions this has created on WWT Slimbridge’s famous reserve. Geoff Hilton, one of the scientists working in their conservation team, also shows viewers how they are able to track the lives of geese on their journeys across the planet.

If this has whetted your appetite for a visit to Slimbridge don’t miss our March issue of Wild Travel which has a handy guide to the centre and highlights what you can enjoy there in spring.
