I'm not a big fan of Mute Swans, but I couldn't help being impressed with the number of them at Sam Smith Park this morning. There were well over 100, mostly in a tight flock just to the east of the park. I stopped counting at 50, but I was less than half way through the flock.
Also seen: an Osprey headed east (wrong way!), a Green Heron, and a few warblers near the Power House (mainly Redstarts and Magnolias). There was a Lesser Scaup, one Common, and several Hooded Mergsansers in the harbour area. There were also lots of Monarchs fluttering south everywhere you look.
