BEWICK'S SWAN

Had a phone call from John Swan (no pun intended) yesterday afternoon to say that the Bewick's Swans had turned up again at Sthihians Res. (Many thanks John). I have been up three or four times to try to catch up with these rare visitors to Cornwall, their appearances have been very spasmodic.

So on arrival at the hide I found there was already a good few people to see them, and they were showing well although a bit distant, and the light was not good still have to make the best of what your given.
So spent the next hour watching these graceful beauties 4 adults and 4 juveniles and getting a few shots, some I have included below.
Also Managed another year tick with Male and Female Goldeneye far out on the Res.

I would also like to welcome Bonifer as a Follower, thanks for looking and hope you enjoy the blog
