Whooper swans at Martin Mere

There was more life on the mere today but it was still extremely cold so I did not linger long! Last week's count revealed - 1600 Whooper swans, 19 Bewick swans, 1200 Teal,1100 Shelduck and 1400 Lapwing.
The shrubs around the mere look very windswept, I can't wait for the spring to arrive.






It was almost feeding time and they were flying in from all directions. One day the light will be in my favour and I will get a good shot!! (and all the swans will be back in Iceland!!!!!!!)









And last but not least - sleeping partners.
