What does a Whooper Swan sound like?

I was surprised that they made any noise. Swans usually don't say anything. With a name like Whooper I guess I should have expected some whooping and indeed that is the noise they make.

For those looking at this on facebook, you are going to have to follow the link back to my blog to watch this clip.

The light was quite good, so I took a few photos before moving on.

With the light fading I was just about to leave when I noticed what looked like a dog stalking through the grass towards some rooks. Suddenly in an explosion of movement it erupted out of the long grass and tore towards them. It was a fox. As the rooks launched into flight they flew straight at a second fox which jumped up snapping at them with its jaws. I managed to get the very end of this hunt scene on film. Again facebook viewers will have to go back to my blog to see it.
