Various Swans

Whooper Swan

Whooper Swans visit Britain each winter and one of the best places to see them are at some of the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT) reserves. The best for Whoopers are Welney, Martim Mere, and Caerlaverock in SW Scotland where these images below were taken in January 2010.

Swans in the Snow - Some of the best scenes of Whooper Swans in the snow are to be found in Japan. Although I would love to visit Japan, and would love to climb Mt. Fuji. It is unlikely in the near future and there are several other wildlife locations that are higher on the list from a cost, practical, and a "wish to see other species" point of view.
