No sign of any Bewick’s at Nythe this morning, and Mute Swan numbers have reduced notably.

4 winter swans flew north across Shapwick Moor this morning at 10.30 heading towards Canada Farm/Catcott Lows. They were overhead so I can’t say for sure which species but the calls were quite muted so I would guess at Bewicks.

A nice find by my wife, Kay, as we drove slowly across the Somerset Levels this afternoon: 2 adult Bewick’s Swans among a grazing herd of Mute Swans next to the 18 Foot Drain road-bridge at Nythe, between Pedwell & High Ham. For a photo click on the link below…
