Pre-flight checks.

This Whooper Swan will be off to its breeding grounds in Iceland soon, so it has to be in top condition.
I met up with Psilo yesterday (Sunday) for a few hours birdwatching at WWT Martin Mere - boy, was it cold! Fortunately you can thaw out in the cafe there with a couple of hot coffee's (and a cake of course!), while you discuss the pros and cons of various Hardy Geraniums.

Oh Yes Muddy , the woosh of the wings the squawking noise difficult to explain really .. exciting :o) the area is floodlit so that visitors to the centre can watch the show making it look all the more spectacular ....

Great photo muddy.....clear and fresh looking. Getting ready for their summer home. I like to go to Martin Mere. Fascinating place. We used to go there when we used to stay at Southport until OH became unwell.
