Return of a golden oldie!
We were thrilled to see the return of golden oldie Bacan this afternoon! Bacan first visited Slimbridge as a yearling in 1991 which means he is now 20 years old! Bewick's swans can live to at least 29 years old in the wild and we are eagerly awaiting the return of Winterling, who at 27, will break the record for the oldest swan to have visited Slimbridge if she flies in this winter!
A total of 62 swans were recorded by their individual bill patterns today.
