Swan Count

15 November 2016

Main Lagoon as the swans started to fly out

Thousands of swans are back now for the winter, with a particularly high November count:-

WWT Welney:
Whooper swan - 4262
Bewick's swan - 305

Ouse Washes total:
Whooper swan - 6762
Bewick's swan - 310

Over 1,200 swans were on the main lagoon alonemaking for a noisy morning as they started flying out to the fields. We still have places available on our swan's awake mornings, Sat 26 & Sun 27 November, definately looks like it should be a good weekend for the morning flight out!
