How
many Swans and Herons did we see?
Down at the Cuckmere me and my group saw 5 Herons and 7 Swans.
Information.
Herons and
Swans have webbed feet. Swans like to eat all different kinds of bread. Herons
like to eat different kinds of fish. Swans are the largest member of the duck
family, with an all white plumage and long, graceful necks. The
Black Swans Black Swans
have bright red bills and black ugly feathers. Stephanie saw a Black Swan at the
Cuckmere and told our group leader Stephanie's mum [Terry]. This Black Swan is
unusual because you wouldn't see or find them at the Cuckmere. It must have been
an escapee. Herons
Herons fish at sea, and in rivers, you don't see them when it's busy but
in a quiet place you do. Herons are tall wading birds with long necks, long legs
and a long sharp bill nesting in colonies, usually in a tree. Herons feed on rodents
and fish.
