Whooper Swan at Little Marlow

 This single Whooper Swan was found at Little Marlow Gravel Pit on 12th November.  This is a good date as other birds have been seen elsewhere over the past few days as they arrive from their breeding grounds.  The bird was just sat on the water, calling from time to time.  It flew to the other side of the lake when a rather aggressive looking Mute Swan approached it.

This is my first record of this species at the site since 1973!!
