WWT is satellite tracking Whooper Swans between their breeding grounds in Iceland and their wintering grounds in Britain and Ireland.
Seven swans were fitted with transmitters in Iceland in Summer 2007; three of these transmitters are still transmitting. A further six swans were fitted with transmitters at the Lough Neagh/Beg complex, Northern Ireland, in March 2008.
You can follow their progress using our satellite tracking map below. Check the latest news on the Super Whooper diary or sign up to an RSS news feed to receive the latest news.
