The beautiful whooper swans that turned up on the reserve on Monday (and which were talked about in my last blog), roosted in the reedbed again last night, so if you're down on the reserve today keep an eye out for them. They seem to be moving onto the grassland fields to feed during the day, so have a good look at any large white birds you see on the moor. There are two adults and two young ones with them. Whooper swans pair for life and the young will stay with the parents through their first winter and sometimes for even longer. The photos below were taken from the second viewing screen on the reedbed late yesterday afternoon by Terry Sherlock.
