Whooper Swans at Welney

Spent little more than half an hour at Welney Wildfowl Trust today, but saw a few Cambridge Camera Club members (which I was pleased about) and some wildfowl.   I shall put through two postings of what was seen with the first one being Whooper Swans and the second being the other birds.   I've seen more swans and a wider range of other birds on previous occasions.   Perhaps another trip is indicated!

A few Whooper Swans flew onto the water in front of the main enclosed hide and there was clearly a lot that needed to be 'sorted out'!   The first three images are 'chaotic' and 'busy' but capture something of what was going on.  

The condition of this Whooper Swan suggests it hadn't just arrived.   Its feet are enormous when they were employed as brakes and I was attracted to the beauty of the wingspan.
