'This is a great time of year to observe birds.' - James Lees, WWT Slimbridge
Video series - weekly wildlife round-up from WWT Slimbridge
In a new content share with our friends at WWT, we can now bring you some excellent video footage and weekly round-ups from one of the UK's finest wetland centres - Slimbridge.
Things have been hotting up at WWT Slimbridge as pairs and pairs of birds start to woo each other ahead of another busy breeding season. You will see a male Herring Gull perform a special dance as he brings juicy worms up to the surface - all in the name of impressing his partner. Meanwhile, a Wood Pigeon shows he is smitten with his partner by head-bobbing, kissing and even regurgitating his food as an offering.
James Lees, who presents this week’s Wildlife Weekly, welcomes this spring activity but it does mean that soon he will bid farewell to the last of the Bewick’s swans.
He visits the last remaining swans to see how they are preparing for the long migration ahead.
