*SWAN UPDATE* Our resident swans 🦢 are doing a fantastic job raising their 2025 cygnets on the River Penk next to the M6 motorway… These are mute swans - did you know: 🦢There are three types of swans commonly seen in the UK: • The Mute Swan (most common and often seen in parks) • The Whooper Swan (visits from Iceland in winter) • The Bewick’s Swan (flies in from Russia during winter) 🦢Even though swans look graceful and slow, they are very strong flyers. Some can fly as fast as 50 to 60 miles
