Whooper Z3G migrates!

Remember our Mute Swan / bread loving Whooper Swan that was ringed at Bowness-on-Windermere in May 2009? Well after spending the winter in Leicestershire he's decided it would be safer to migrate back to Bowness-on-Windermere rather than to Iceland.

Here's what we have on his movements to date -

25/05/2009 - 22/10/2009 - Bowness on Windermere, Cumbria.
30/10/2009 - 03/11/2009 - Kingsmill Reservoir, Nottingham.
11/11/2009 - 17/12/09 - Watermead Country Park, Leicester. 222km
24/01/2010 - 24/01/2010 - Near Cossington Mill, Rothley, Leicester.
10/03/2010 - 15/03/2010 - Near Cossington Mill, Rothley, Leicester.
27/04/2010 - 04/05/2010 - Bowness on Windermere, Cumbria.
