& @StuBearhop uses long-term data from @WWTMartinMere @WWTCaerlaverock @WWTWelney shows that nature reserves play a role in boosting survival of Whooper Swans & will effectively double the pop size by 2030. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

International Workshop Part 2: Our early birds visited a night roost, we heard lots of interesting talks, had a lovely field trip by covered wagon (note #Bewick's in the background!) and now we finish it off with some delicious food by @HotelzurTreene again. 😊

Really enjoyed helping @EileenRees and team produce the latest issue of #SwanNews for @IUCN Swan Specialist Group. Thanks to @JamesSLees for the great cover photo. Issue 17 is now online, check it out here - swansg.org/resources/newslet…
Well done - it’s so important that assessment of levels of illegal hunting continue - for informing conservation measures required for protected species!
A great catch of Bewick's Swans @WWTSlimbridge this morning to ring and X-ray birds as part of our work looking at the illegal hunting of the species. On average, a 1/3 of Bewick's @WWTSlimbridge sadly carry shot in pellets in their bodies. Read more here wwt.org.uk/our-work/projects…

A lovely way to end a day, watching the Bewick's Swans under floodlights with Dave and @EileenRees, chatting all the latest research and hearing stories about the good old days...

The International Swan Symposium comes to an end. Had fun presenting our latest results. & in my voluntary role meeting with the Bewick's Swan expert group to get ball rolling on the new NW European action plan. A great trip hearing all latest on international swan research

@EileenRees presents the latest results for the NW European population of Bewick's Swans to the International Swan Symposium. We're working on writing up & publishing these results, however will make for grim & puzzling reading.

Another full day of swan talks at the International Swan Symposium in 🇺🇸 @DrKevinWood up again today to talk about whether Bewick's Swans around @WWTWelney are affected by sharing feeding habitats with Whooper & Mute swans. #Ornithology @WWTConservation

I remember seeing @sachadench speak at a @WWTworldwide event. Her absolute passion and emotion about that expedition was so powerful! Fantastic that the documentary is finally being released!
Sneaky peak behind the scenes 👀Alongside @WWTworldwide & Annabel Vine, we will soon launch the Flight of the Swans documentary narrated by the incredible #SophieOkonedo
