Whooper Swans On the ARC yesterday
The Whooper Swans have now moved to the Mute Swan Herd in the field in front my house, unfortunately it seems the farmer is going to spray that field, so they are likely to be moved on. A female Scaup was reported at Scotney on the first lake west of the caravan park, in a late afternoon visit I could not find it, but I will try again tomorrow in better light.
