The 2 Whooper Swans snapped from my garden
A very sluggish Bee in the garden late morning
When I went home for a late breakfast the 2 Whooper Swans were fairly close to the garden, 2 Common Buzzards were thermalling high over the fields while a Marsh Harrier hunted the ditches.
A quick look at Walland found only 6 Bewick Swans, I'm presuming the other 28 are on their way back to Russia. There was still a large flock of Fieldfare and Redwing nearby.
