| 23/04/25 | CRANE | Emmbrook | 2 | P Bright-Thomas |
19:45 | Two large birds in flight at min ~1200m (no optics), not 100% able to rule out Mute Swan due to range. Seen to the East, from Wokingham Tennis Club (SU781692) heading S over roughly Toutley Road until lost behind Simon's Lane tree line; overcast, 30 mins before sunset. No white apparent, dark necks straight, and also seemed like dark legs extending behind, darker below, lighter above, squarer wingtips and deeper slower wingbeats than Mute Swan. Frustratingly far. | |||
