Post subject:  Mute Swan survey 14/3/09

As part of the Mute Swan survey today between Washingborough and Bardney Pits I counted:

91 Mute Swans
This does not include any on Nocton Fen as they are being counted seperatley. I did a quick count of the Nocton Fen swans just for my own benefit and there were 60 birds present. That is 151 Swans, not a bad total for the area.
10 Swans are known to have hit the wires and died this winter.

Also noted during the survey were the following:

1 Little Egret
6 Whooper Swans
1 Green Sandpiper
2 Grey Partridges
30 Fieldfare
