I thought you were referring to Alan or Mike for a second 😂
Cheers Nick 👍🏻🙂
You’ll have to go the long way round… road closed at Portesham for a month! 🙄
I’ve done a bit of digging & it would appear that canne is old English for a hollow. The same derivative for the words can & in a round about way… cup. 👌🏻🙂
One I should know Paul but I’m afraid I don’t 🫤 There’s a large one up at Abbotsbury that used to be named on the old Ordnance Survey maps… ‘Shitting Cann’… as it was very convenient for the fishermen!
Also 20 Yellow Wagtails dropped into the reedbeds to roost & a couple of Whinchats were on the slopes. Thought about checking the beach for @paulupwey.bsky.social ‘s pipit as still needed for the patch. Initial sighting well out of the Swannery recording area though so thought better of it 🫤
Well I think the 3 this evening were pretty brainless. Just circling round & round the Swannery embayment. Almost like they were scarring everything on purpose. The one on the deck heard me shouting & pegged it before I had a chance to walk round & have a ‘quiet’ word. 😡
Hi Nick, they’re one and the same thing! ‘Polish’ Swans are leucistic. The leucistic gene is just quite common in Mute Swans. As only 1 is white then it is likely that only the ad male has the gene as if the female had it too they’d all be white. If only the female had the gene they’d all be grey 👍🏻
I remember when we used to do one here! 🙁
