Ibsley

2 Bewick's Swan at Ibsley Meadows with Mute Swan herd. No sign of the Great-white Egret in the area though today. 10 Ruddy Ducks were on Ibsley Water. At least 1 female Goosander was behind the island on Rockford Lake, perhaps there was more.

One of the Bewick's Swan over the far side of ibsley Meadow feeding on one of the only parts not flooded. A rapidly declining species in Hampshire. (c) Ashley Howe
