Finding the Tundra Swan
About this episode
Ajay Tegala embarks on a quest to find the elusive Tundra Swan during its winter retreat, discussing conservation efforts with experts.
The Bewick’s or ‘Tundra’ swan has eluded ranger Ajay Tegala for years. It's hardly surprising: the swan’s epic migration is under pressure, and their numbers are dwindling. Can Ajay find them at their winter retreat of WWT Welney? Ajay speaks to fellow swan lover, artist and zoologist Dafila Scott and site manager Lizzie Bruce to aid his search for these hardworking swans.
