As most Surrey birders will know, there have been 18 Bewick's Swans present in some flooded fields in Cobham recently. As much fewer Surrey birders will know, these 18 Bewick's Swans are within 200 metres of the patch boundary, devastatingly close. Usain Bolt could reach them in under 20 seconds, me in probably 35. Therefore, for the last couple of days and probably for the next few as well, I have been standing on the edge of the patch praying that the Bewick's decide to head off to roost in my direction before banking off to the reservoirs.
No luck this time but a massive patch tick could be on the cards...
