The Drift Whooper Swan has attracted a fair deal of attention, not least that it is unbelievably confiding and that you can also get so whooping close to it. This adult was just a few yards away. Whooper Swans are not exactly common in Cornwall, but when they do appear, they are usually distant, ie the Stithians and Walmsley birds are normally 1/4 mile away! So it's nice for once to be able to savour these close-ups.
