I took a pre match jaunt to Abbotsbury Swannery yesterday
morning staking out the tern/gull rails. There wasn’t much to report in the
couple of hours I was there. Terns were very thin on the ground with singles of
Sandwich and Common Tern.
A single Mediterranean Gull spent some time preening on one
of the rails.
The Swans were numerous attracting the attention of the day
trippers. Just prior to feeding time a Black Swan honed into view completing a
couple of circuits before joining a couple of stray Mutes on The Fleet. This
bird’s arrival bought back fond memories of lakes covered in wild birds in
Australia. This species is the state emblem of Western Australia featuring on
the coat of arms as well as appearing on stamps.
The afternoon was spent officiating at Bridport FC in the Dorset
Premier League!
