Bewick's Swan and dolphin

The Bewick's Swan and five Whooper Swans were along the St. Annes Head Road again today. Visible from the second gateway on the right after the Brunt Farm entrance (not including the gateway directly opposite the entrance, where incidentally there were a number of Snipe feeding right out in the open in the recently muckspread field).
Back a the Gann spent about 1/2 hour wading in trying to refloat a 1.5m long stranded dolphin, but it kept swimming about 100 yards or so along the bay before coming back ashore, eventually ending up right at the left hand end of the bay. Passed it on to Cliff Benson at the Sea Life Trust, who was arranging to send someone out to help it.
After that my legs were too benumbed to walk along the Gann, so no information on the birds there unfortunately.
