UK: Experts stunned by swan 'divorce' at Slimbridge wetland

[Guest guest]

Sarindi arrived at the annual migration from Arctic Russia with a new partner

 

24 January 2010

 

Experts have told of their surprise after witnessing a rare " divorce " between a

pair of swans at a Gloucestershire wildfowl sanctuary.

 

The Bewick's swans have returned to winter at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust

centre at Slimbridge - but both have brought new partners.

 

It is only the second time in more than 40 years that a " separation " has been

recorded at the centre....

I believe the divorce was due to the fact that one wanted cygnets and the other didn't... so no cygnets!!BBPeterOn 29 January 2010 15:41, fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote:
