A number of the Whoopers are beginning to pair up with plenty of display and splash to show for it. Breeding doesn't start until they are 4-5 years old, and they stay together until one dies. Having seen Whooper Swans in Iceland and reading that they pair for life, presumably they travel together so that when in the UK they decide whether they will spend time at Welney (conditions being conducive) or Cottenham for the sugar beet remains!
