whooper swans over the trees

They fly over the garden every evening just now, about forty of them. By the time I’ve grabbed my camera they are always nearly gone though…

    A beautiful sight, Lucy. They fly over us from around the time of my husband’s birthday in March, & again from around my birthday in September. Always fills me with awe!

    I used to live near the sea at portsmouth/southsea and used to love feeding the swans and of course hearing them! They are so beautiful though apparantely you need to be carefel as if they are flying over you, you need to duck as their wings are so strong! We are in yorkshire now so no swans (well. maybe by the sea but we right in the mainland!)

    they’re always very high up when they pass over here, no danger of being hit I think… sorry you have none near you :(
