Moin! #whooper #swan's
I'am really excited - the resident pair has a #cygnet !
First time ever since I monitor this patch.
There are residential #whooper swans (2 pairs, unfortunately 1 adult died 21/22 due to avian flu, 3 remaining).
Look how bright the cygnets plumage is already, hatched much earlier than in hight north-east.
Sorry for bad picture, taken before sunrise at a dull morning at the moor lake.

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.

Lots of #bird activity on the #SalineLagoon at #WWTCastleEspie this morning: #Whooper #swan, #sparrowhawk & #kingfisher 😎
Hope they’ll put on as good a show when the Centre reopens next week! 🤞🏻

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.

Moin! Dreich day in #November
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.
