Yesterday in the late afternoon, there were 3 Mute Swans at Runnemede. They weren't there when I arrived at 3PM or so, but I found them on my way out about 4:30. I needed a closer look, so I high-tailed it over to the other side of the pond where I managed to get a few poor quality pictures. It was getting pretty dark by the time I got over there, so it was the best I could do. They are on ebird if you are interested in seeing them. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32965457 The Swans were gone this morning as the big pond is completely frozen over.
