Bewick's Swan
After no sightings on the reserve during the winter period 2017-18, 2 Bewick's Swan flew onto the reserve late afternoon. The decline of wintering Bewick's Swan has been dramatic given the record count at Martin Mere is 1046 during the winter of 1990-91. There is currently only 9 birds in Lancashire so far this winter.
We'll do a fuller report of recent sightings either tomorrow or Monday. As usual if you check out the previous day's sightings you'll get a good idea as to what can be seen around the reserve.
