BEWICK SWANS 7/11/13 gaden sightings

Not much sighted this week but the highlights have been:

• 10+ mallards on the flooded fields
• 4 little egrets together on the flooded fields
• 2 redwing over on the 3/11/13
• 1 redwing over on the 5/11/13
• 30+ redwing over on the 6/11/13 (10+, 5 and a flock of 15 over the nearby school)

7/11/13 garden sightings

• 300+ gull- most black headed with common gulls flying away from the flooded fields.
• 10+ redwing flew over
• A garden wren.
• 1 cormorant
• 2 BEWICK SWANS- one very high individual came over the house at around 16:00 from the south and started circling over the houses before flying high NE. Then, a second individual flew over from the South, circled once and flew even higher NE. I told James Lees about this as he works at Slimbridge WWT and he told me they were Bewicks and that he'd seen them as well which was very good. This Is the 1st record of mine over the house so this is very good.
