Super Saturday

A realy nice way to start the day

With a day off and Lindsay working I decided to try and track down some Bewicks Swans in South Yorkshire and with a bit of a drive round in the area suggested I located th mixed flock of swans which contained 44 Whooper, 14 Mute and 7 Bewicks. A good result.

 What happened next was one of those events some people would put down to destiny but for some unexplained reason I decided to head back using a different route and what a decision, as feeding totally oblivious to the world at large were thes two beauties.

With the rest of the day ahead I struck out for the Humber Estuary and Sunk Island and was rewarded with this supurb Shortie quartering the salt marsh.
