Whooper Swans



Due to favourable weather conditions this week Whooper Swans have begun their mass movement from their wintering grounds further south such as Welney or Slimbridge to their breeding grounds in Iceland.  So with this in mind we went to our local wetland just outside of Normanby to see if any had stopped off on their journey.  As you can see from the photo 37 of these beautiful swans had in deed stopped off for a rest - note the wind turbine in the background!
