Bewick's are back
Our first Bewick's swan flew in to WWT Welney yesterday, right on schedule and just a day after the first arrival at WWT Slimbridge. So that now we have all three species of UK swan on site for visitors to see. Water levels have peaked and currently only the Reedbed hide is closed with welly boots needed to access Nelson-Lyle, Lyle, Allport and Friends hides.
Sightings from yesterday:
Bewick's swan - 1
Jack snipe - 1
Little gull - 1
White-fronted goose - 30
Marsh harrier - 3 (roosting in front of the main observatory)
Fieldfare (large flocks)
