The 11 swans were in fact Whoopers. Along with Peter Cox, I saw them on the mudflats this morning on the seaward side of Somercotes Haven. Later in the morning, the heat haze was very strong and they had moved further out and closer towards the mouth of Grainthorpe Haven.

thought they were steve but as you say the haze was very bad even unable to be sure 11/12, ta much
