At 6.15 pm, just as we had arrived home, one (possibly two) Whooper Swans could be heard flying over our house. Unfortunately, we could not see them due to low cloud and drizzle. Their distinctive contact calls suggested they could have been heading towards the Eastern Cleddau, where one or two have been recorded in previous autumn/winter periods.
Hopefully, they will have landed somewhere in the area this evening and will be seen during daylight, and in better visibility than this evening. Perhaps they will be recorded somewhere in the estuary during the WeBS this coming weekend.
