WHOOPER SWAN
Werlney WWT
18th January 2020
One of the main attractions of Welney in January, the Whooper Swans come over in huge numbers from Iceland to spend the winter here, often flocks of 5000 or more winter on the Ouse Washes. This year, due to the heavy rainfall the Washes were flooded and most of the swans had dispersed to the fields nearby to feed, so there were relatively few at the reserve.
