It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
They are now regularly seen in Sunningdale now as well. It shouldn't take them long to reach the north downs in surrey now.

Swans on a 'lake' in a field.I remember reading (a long time ago) a short story about a swan who was stuck, as they can't take off except on water, and it takes a fair stretch- 200 feet, maybe? My memory is rubbish, but I was reminded when I saw this pair today, and worried for them.
Can swans take off from land?Yes, but they need at least 30 yards to become airborne and the same again to reach a safe height to clear surrounding obstructions such as houses.
It appears that the Stokenchurch Red Kite breeding programme has spread it's wings as far as Newbury

I saw an owl on Friday night, heading to the campsite We also heard a woodpecker in the trees close by the tent.And saw a pair of swans flying over very low in close formation, checking out the fishing lake (I think). I couldn't say if the two we saw later swimming on the water were the same ones.
