Moin! 66 km 🚴♀️ and several hours in drizzling rain wasn't that much fun, especially, since I found only 15 #bewick's #swan and 11 #whooper.
Last year this time I had 77 bewicks on my patch.

#Bewick’s swan population vanishing in Britain amid the climate crisis "The smallest of Britain’s three species of #swan has vanished from many of its former haunts; fewer than 5,000 #birds now make the journey here each autumn from their breeding grounds on the #Siberian tundra."

Moin! Very interesting #Birding day.
No #Bewick's swans at the roost in the bog in the morning, seems, they slept in flooded fields around.
Day started not that bad, but very difficult conditions in the afternoon.

Moin,
since 14-Dec 2022 we had increasing number of wintering #bewick's and #whooper swans feeding near the roost (nature reserve) on rapeseed (farmland, about 3 km away).
1-Jan 2023: c57 bewick's, c110 whoppers.
7-Jan 2023: ... all gone, chased away by farmer :(
Found some few on another field nearby today.
Bewick's swans are in decline and according to IUCN criteria globally vulnerable species.

Moin! +9.5°C, strong wind, feels like #April.
#Bewick's and #Whooper swans still feeding in the same field (3 weeks now). Nice flock of common #gulls and few BHG on flooded fields far away from the coast.

If you are interested in #bewick's #swans and #birdmigration, you'll should see this map. Last winter adult and cygnets have been tagged with GPS loggers, so you can follow their routes.

The usual gang in the fields around: #whooper, few #bewick's #swans, #geese and #cranes.
Interesting to see lot's of #chaffinch in the hedge rows.

And the wonderful chaos of the #WildBird feed at #sunset, with the merest hint of a rainbow. One of the first #Bewick's swans to arrive, pintail, mallard, shelduck, shoveller, tufted duck, greylag goose and others.

It's a dreadfully wet and windy day out there, but hey, I'm indoors.I hope you're all having a smashing start to the week. Here's a shot from this time last year, when the #Bewick #Swans flew in for winter.
Moin #SchleswigHolstein
Heute startete die #Zwergschwan Winterzählung. Bin hier zwar nicht im Hauptrastgebiet, aber immerhin: 23 Zwergschwäne, darunter 5 diesjährige am Schlafplatz.
Ein ziemlich kalter, langer und wunderschöner Tag mit dem #Fahrrad in der Natur unterwegs.
