7th March 2015 - Whooper Swans at North Ferriby

A walk at low tide at North Ferriby brought a nice surprise with a trio of Whooper Swans on the sandbar in the middle of the river. There has been a movement of both Whoopers and Pinkfeet on the coast, so I had hoped that perhaps one or the other might overfly the patch.

I had not expected to see them on the deck however. The timing of my walk was very fortunate as just half an hour later the rising tide had covered the sand bar and the Swans made their way up river.
