- Cover photo description:
- Abbotsbury Swannery is the only managed colony of nesting mute swans in the world. It is situated near the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset, England, 14 kilometres 9 mi west of Weymouth on a 1-hectare 2-acre site around the Fleet Lagoon protected from the weather of Lyme Bay by Chesil Beach. The colony can number over 600 swans with around 150 pairs. Written records of the swannery`s existence go back to 1393, though it probably existed well before that and is believed to have been set up by Benedictine monks in the eleventh century.
