RingedCormorant_211008aa.jpg
Cormorant189 viewsI noticed this Cormorant was ringed, so I brought the photo to the attention of Pete Marsh of LDBWS, a few emails later I was advised the Cormorant was "ringed as Pullus, Puffin Island, Anglesey 13/07/2008". Knowing something about the history of the bird makes what was otherwise just a record shot much more interesting.Oct 27, 2008

Whooper Swan203 viewsI'd only got my 105mm macro lens with me, so had to back up quite away to get the whole of the swan in shot.Oct 26, 2008
whooper_050208j.jpg
Whooper Swan204 viewsthe girl from the RSPCA asked me to come with her to Pilling Sands so that when she released the Swan if it was unable to fly I could help her re-catch it. I agreed of course, but what I didn't count on was how fast it could run, it shot off towards the estuary with little chance of us catching it.Oct 26, 2008
whooper_050208k.jpg
Whooper Swan209 viewsI'm free, the Swan makes a dash towards the estuary. I went back to work at this point, but got a call from the RSPCA girl later to confirm the Swan tok to the skies when it was scared by someone on a quad bike.Oct 26, 2008
whooper_050208a.jpg
Whooper Swan216 viewsWhilst driving down Fluke Hall Lane, Pilling, I turned a corner to see this Whooper Swan running towards me with a tractor right behind it, when the swan saw me coming it veered off the road into the hedgerow & became entancled in the branches there. After watching it for a while it became apparent it was stuck, so I phoned the RSPCA, who agreed to send someone out & asked me to wait with the swan until they arrived.Oct 26, 2008
whooper_050208bb.jpg
Whooper Swan201 viewsThe swan got quite distressed each time a vehicle sped past, but no matter how much it struggled it couldn't break free of the hedgerowOct 26, 2008
whooper_050208dd.jpg
Whooper Swan222 viewsGotcha - within the hour a young lady from the RSPCA arrived, she was absolutely brilliant. She quickly but carefully grabbed the swan & removed it from the hedgerow with the miimum of fuss, she was obviously very confident handling the bird, I wouldn't have fancied getting in range of it's beak. Oct 26, 2008
whooper_050208ee.jpg
Whooper Swan236 viewstime for a firm hand. With the swan restrained she checked it's wings for breaks, the Swan was trying to flap both wings so she concluded it was unlikely it had a broken wing. Apparently they sometimes think roads are rivers & land on them by mistake, stunning themselves, which is maybe what happened to this bird.Oct 26, 2008
