International Bewick’s and Whooper Swan Census: 11/12 January 2020

The following list of sites was produced using WeBS data (Core Counts and supplementary data) from 2008/09 - 2017/18, for December, January and February only, and swan census counts from the 2010 and 2015 surveys. For each site, the peak count is given for each season. We hope this list is helpful, but please bear in mind that it is intended as a guide rather than a definitive list. There may be additional areas not listed which you know hold swans and we would be very grateful if you could also arrange coverage for those sites
