    Default Whooper Swans at Beenham near Reading

    Got a text alert that there were a pair of Whooper Swans in a field near Beenham this afternoon, fortunately I finished my job quickly, and managed to drive over to take a look. Unfortunately I only had my bins in the van, but tried a photo through one lens with the mobile phone, whilst perched on the door frame of the van to clear the tall hedge, not very successfully I might add.

    Edit: Slightly better shots uploaded. http://www.thamesvalleybirds.co.uk/a...berkshire.html
