Flying in for Winter

A trip out birding today on what was a bit of a damp grey day. Not to much about but I was rewarded with a nice find when I popped into a local reserve just outside Lincoln . I decided to call into Fiskerton Fen as I drove passed. While walking around I heard the distinctive call of Whooper swans. I managed to locate them in a nearby field  with a group of native Mute swans. The whopper swan comes here to spend winter here from its summer residency of Iceland. There was 2 adults and a Juvenile  I managed a few shots but went with this shot of one of the Adults calling out as it flew past I have included a couple of extras more shots can be seen HERE.
Back home and caught up with England's 2nd Rugby League  test match against New Zealand . Another fine win for them so cant wait until next weekend 3rd and final match which we will going to see live.
