Whooper Swans and Snow Buntings

A flock of 82 Whooper Swans turned up at Herrington Country Park last week and it turns out that this was the second biggest flock ever in Durham! Here's a small part of the flock.



Then today, Chairman of the Durham Bird Club found two gorgeous Snow Buntings in Hendon.






Two brilliant species, neither found by me - but who cares!
