Posted 12 Nov, 2007 - 03:18 PM: Subject: Wild Swans #1 Each winter we see and hear Whooper and Bewick Swans flying over our house and through the proposed 'Turbine area' migrating down to Welney. This link might be of interest to you http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/south_of_scot... I have added the link as an attachment also. Seven swans have been tagged with satellite tags and their routes plotted, one of these has migrated from Iceland down to Welney. The swan's name is Blidfinnur his ring (IH5) If you look at the attachments Swan route 1,2 and 3. the red line is the route taken by this tagged swan down to Welney. The third map shows nicely how these swans fly across the turbine area, across Moyses Bank in fact. http://www.wwt.org.uk/superwhooper/573/.html If the turbines come then disaster might well prevail for this little chap and his friends migrating through to Welney. At best, we might not be able to witness their migration each year as they will be displaced by the turbines. Worse case scenario.......... the swans fly into the turbines and perish.
