Observation details
Adult on Upper Lake, showing very well until harassment from territorial male Mute Swan forced it to fly west c.10:10 (later found at Mercers CP). Part of a group of six that dropped in yesterday PM (presumably due to poor weather) and roosted; five flew off c.07:48 per reports but for some reason this individual stayed. Mega views and some vocalisations to boot ... part of a wider en masse departure of this species from Britain back to breeding grounds. Surrey lifer.
